in other news


The date pit that I planted in my african violet pot has grown 11 inches! I planted it in February after we bought dates at the market with Doug & Tammy. I watched something on TV about how fruit pits never lose their power to sprout, regardless of how long they are dormant. I stuck 2 in there, but the other one didn't make it. Right now it's just one long palm frond, I'm excited see if something else happens. It seems to like the kitchen window, but I'll probably need to move it to it's own pot soon. Also, my violets are finally blooming again. I don't feed them or give them special dirt or anything, so it's always magical to me that they can be so beautiful so naturally.
