Yet another hobby: Gardening.

That's right. As if home brewing, steeping, infusing, curling, mixology, photography, etc. weren't enough.

What plants do I have so far?

  • Areca palm (small)
  • Areca palm (medium)
  • Peace Lily
  • Norfolk Pine
  • English Ivy
  • Rosemary
  • Christmas cactus (it's just a little baby)
What's on tap?
  • Pineapple
  • Meyer Lemon (germinating as I type)
  • Cinnamon basil
  • Lime Basil
  • Peppers
  • Meyer Lemons
  • Ruby Red Grapefruit
  • Mexican (key) lime
I'm waiting for about 20 Meyer Lemon seeds to germinate. After germinating I'll place them in water bottles filled with soil. Eventually they'll make their way into a large pot as "dwarf" Meyer Lemons live inside during late fall and winter and outside during late spring and summer. In three to five years I'll have the sweetest lemons ever (no really! Meyers are a cross between lemons and oranges).

I'll post progress as appropriate.

I expect I'll have extra lemon/lime/grapefruit trees so if you want your very own citrus tree drop me a commnet or email.
