plants

one of the things that has finally made it on the to-do-this-week-or-next list is getting potting soil. i have far too many things that need dirt: a couple of spider plants that are sick of a water-only fast (anyone want a spider plant once they're potted? i already have 2.). and some rosemary and lavender that would love larger pots (they're actually overwintering in my office; so far, so good). and the 2 rosemary plants on my porch that i pretty much abandoned to the frost this year but have been hanging on despite everything (maybe that's why the weather has been so temperate? (though this is just nuts. it's january, for heaven's sake!)) which would like a new start, too. and the ginger sitting in a covered bowl on my kitchen table, managing to grow on nothing at all, apparently. not only have they all started to bud, those new bits seem to be getting ready to put up shoots, and there are cool punk-looking roots starting as well. i assume they'd be even more enthusiastic about having something to grow in, and some water every once in a while...
