Rain, Rain, Rain

Today, I woke up at 5 am to the sound of torrential winds and rain. My first thought was of my meyer lemon tree, which I had left outside despite warnings of stormy weather. I ran out onto the balcony (still in my undies no less) to find it on its side, the poor thing wedged underneath a fallen deck chair. Luckily, aside from a few broken young branches and spilled soil, it was still in good shape. Is it a sickness to be so emotionally invested in your plants?


The seedlings spent yet another day inside. Growth has been very slow. I was planning on building some shelves fit with grow lamps this winter. Until then, I'll just have to pray for sunnier days.
