a good night to visit someone with a big-screen tv.
my green fire escape
lemon verbena, rosemary, spearmint, lavender... i can now make my own herbal tea by reaching out of the window onto my newly verdant fire escape. i love the smell that spearmint leaves on my fingers... and they're much nicer to look at than my neighbor's brick wall.
i've never been good with plants so i asked the vendor at the union square green market to pick out some particularly hardy types. he told me that while none could survive complete neglect (yes, i'd learnt that from the death of a poor cactus), i shouldn't worry too much. it's not like i'm buying a puppy or tropical fish, he reminded me, suggesting -i suppose- that it's not such a crime if they wilt and die under my care.
my next ambitious project involves baking. stay tuned...
