New Friends

I watered the cuttings yesterday. The mystery houseplant is leaning towards the lampkin now, getting its light on so to speak. The aloe is doing it's aloe thing which is nothing. They both got their water and both seem out to bore me to death.

New Additions:
Got some seeds at Kmart. Brussels sprout (Brassica oleracea), Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa), and Spinach (Espinaca Hibrida Hoja Pequena). I threw ten seeds from each packet in some kleenex, folded it up, stuck it in see-through plastic cups, and wetted them thoroughly with tap water. It's been about 24 hours and none have germinated yet. The clear cups gave me an idea to transplant the mystery plant so I'm gonna. I don't really care about this plant and those seeds are less of a concern now. They're all just something for me to mess around with while I wait for my triumphant aloe to grow triumphantly large and produce lots of healy juices for hippies too cheap to buy neosporin.

There's a pic of the seeds in my ultra-hi tech germinarium. Apparently, "germinarium" is too high-tech a word for blogger.com to handle. They say it's a misspelling. Misspell this!

Here's a picture of the mystery plant upclose. Notice how it doesn't realize it's about to get transplanted even though it totally is. The second pic is of the whole setup. Two 23w CFLs are going 24 hours a day. You can see the african violet with all the leaves picked off that were affected by root rot. Dad said I should transplant that and I figure, what the hell, so I'm gonna. The mother aloe plant is loving the light. It's got some new spear shooting out the top center.

I decided to name the two plants. They mystery plant is John Doe and the aloe is Aloenzo. Hopefully having names will inspire them to register for social security cards.

Updates tomorrow after transplanting with some photo pictures.
