    Been waiting for something to grab me...

    3 lil aloe plants from a chinese resturant I stopped in at today.

    Side note, lady didn't speak english very well... I asked "is there anything on the menu thats particularly good?"... "yes, yes..."... so I asked is EVERYTHING good? "yes yes".... so I asked is anything bad... "yes yes"... So I asked is EVERYTHING bad.... "yes yes"...

    Long story short, I got beef chow mein that was enough to be all I ate today (throughout the day, was alotta beef and noodles!)... and saw a small pot with 3 plants in it... $1 for em!

    Thats when I met edward, francis, and gala... a nice trio :)

    The attached pic was taken while they were on the dash of my car.

    What I don't have a pic of is when I made a quick u-turn and sent the pot crashing into the passenger door, effectively throwing the plants to the ground and dirt all over that side of the car....

    Quickly repotted with about half hte original dirt (not enough)... some incense chunks and who knows what got in there, didn't vacuum all that up last time cleanin things out thorougly... oh well...

    Poured some soy milk on the soil to, well... who knows, just seemed like a good idea at the time :)

    Got home, got some good ole dirt from the backyard and did a better job of re-replanting. They seem almost unaffected... the 2 smaller ones dropped one "leaf" each, the big one looks fine... outside now breathin in the good air and set to catch some good rays tomorrow... hopefully to grow and grow... :)

    Perhaps they'll find company soon... :)

    ive got some of those in the greenhouse at my school, but i dont really care for them.

    Right now im fascinated with the Dandelion. Its considered a weed yet it has many good uses.

    its made from the flower im pretty sure. You put a bunch of other fruit parts in too so it dosnt end up tasting like total dandelion, i think that wouldnt be very good.
