In other news, my "european herb garden" (complete with "grow lamp") has an unexpected guest: mushroom! mushroom! He started as a little straw with a brown top. He grew up up uuuuup and then out out oouuuuttt and got a fat little top. And now if I forget to water the plants he shrivels up and if I give them lots of water he gets nice and fat. You can see the little shrivel marks on him from last time I let them get too dry.

I love my european herb garden and watch it every day with amazement. Sprouting the seeds was a joy not to be expressed with words. And now they are finally starting to look like their adult counterparts.
