Basic silliness
Oct. 18th, 2006 06:41 pmJackie (the cat) has been trying to eat all of the plants lately, including the Draconis that we've finally gotten to grow to a respectable near-tree-like height.
In order to save the houseplants, I filled a 15" planting tray with potting soil and grass seed about a week ago, and set it on the counter (it then moved to on top of the fridge to get it out of the way). Water daily, and today (or, maybe, yesterday) it started to sprout.
teeka noticed today that it was sprouting, but the grass was white due to lack of sun, so she moved it to the sink (under the window), and then proceeded to tell me that every time she looks, the grass in the tray is taller.
Now, because she asked for it, I'm shooting time-lapse pictures of the tray of dirt. In a few hours I'll download the card and see if you can tell any difference over the course of the run. I might let it run all night, but if I do that, I'll increase the interval time (from its current 2 minutes).
