Justin' thyme

magidAt work today, an orker gave me a pot, soil, and creeping thyme seeds to try to sprout. She'd been given them ages ago and never got around to it. I unbagged the dirt, put in the seeds, added a bit more dirt from the end of the huge bag of potting soil I have in the corner of my office, and added water. Hopefully, if I keep them sufficiently moist, the seeds will germinate in the next three weeks. Herbal foster mom!
On the way home, I stopped at Mahoney's again; Hrafn had brought me some pots, and I wanted plants to put in them (I think the morning glories, when I finally get around to them, will go in a huge box in one corner of the porch). I meandered, checking out the selection; there are some lovely things that I just can't fit on a porch. And in the end, I bought two kinds of thyme, plus a lantana (I love how they flower, and they make me think of Israel, since it was there that I first noticed them.).
And when I got home, it turned into a productive evening (with plenty of thyme? :-). I transplanted the herbs and flower onto the porch, and watered the rest of them out there (the oregano was drooping, a cry for liquid refreshment). The nasturtium is going nuts, with flowers all over, in a bunch of different colors, ranging from yellow to orange to red, and variegated.
I puttered productively. I still have a lot to do, but... I did some light rearranging of the kid books, which was extremely satisfying, even if most of the bookcases are still double-shelved (I so desperately need another bookshelf in that room!). I got all the milchig and pareve dishes done. I glued a ring back together (though with glass glue, so I don't know how well it will hold).
And for dinner I made two kinds of pizza. One has the roasted tomatoes and red peppers I'd made for Shabbat and never got around to eating along with some mozzarella, while the other has fresh basil and grape tomatoes with feta. Both have the same herbed crust: garlic, basil, and... thyme.
