tsaiko: Gif of a lemming falling off an edge (annoyed)
Dear writer's on the web,

Please, for the love of all that's holy, do not set your font size to tiny when you are creating your journal/webpage. It makes it really, really difficult to read your story. Especially when I can't use any of my tricks to make it larger (?style=mine is my bestest friend ever).

The sad thing is, I don't even have problem with my eyesight. Your text is just too damn small. This is one of the downfalls of having a huge screen resolution.

No love,
Tsaiko

Plants!

tsaiko: Multicolor skittles with the words "Skittles make me happy" (happy)
I have plants! For my birthday, my mom took me shopping and I got a new pot for my peace lily, a plant stand (peace lilies are poisonous so I didn't want to put it on the floor, but it was getting too big for the bookcase), a bag of potting soil, and four herbs. The herbs were mint, curly leaf parsley, sage, and thyme. I already have rosemary and savory in one of the pots. They managed to make it through the winter and I'll repot them in a few days. Even though I only potted it a week ago, I'm thinking of repotting the basil in the large herb pots and giving the mint it's own large container. This is a) because mint will take over and b) I go through a lot of mint during the year when I make mint syrup for tea. I also found a recipe for making sorbet from simple syrup that I could use to make mint sorbet. MMMMMMmmmm...

I also need to play my crop of Swiss chard. I may also use one of the indoor pots to do onions because I would like some green onions and if I keep it indoors, I can control the temperature better.

Man, when [livejournal.com profile] miome and I get a house this year, I am going to fill the garden with plants. I'll finally be able to do a vegetable garden, an herb garden, and a flower garden. Lawn? What lawn? We don't need no stinking lawn. That grass is taking up valuable gardening real estate.

I cannot wait.

Who am I?
