Veggie update!

What made me happy today? Seeing how well my indoor garden is doing!
If you remember, a while ago I posted this. I promised I would keep you all updated on how the vegetables do. So today I'm keeping that promise!




My peppers, radishes, tomatoes and beans have all started growing! Yay! Now I'm hoping they'll give me some nice and tasty home grown food :-) but I might have to wait a few lonths for that.

Win!

What made me happy today? Little moments of win!
This morning almost all the traffic light on the way to work were green. One would not cooperate, but hey, I've never had this many green lights any way so I'm happy :-)
When I got to work and opened my emails, I saw that I had won a small prize! One of my projects does a small quiz every week. Basically, they send out an email to the team every week with a overall update. At the bottom of that email is a quiz question, project related of course. If you want to play you just have to send an email back witht the answer to the question. I participated for the first time this week, and I was among the winners! What did I win? Well, it was a picture of a cute puppy. Made my day! I rarely win anything, and this just put a smile on my face all day!
Enjoy your weekend!

Grow your own veggies!

What made me happy today? Planting some seeds to grow my own vegetables!
It's the start of spring today, although you wouldn't notice it by looking out the window ;-) but it seemed to be the perfect time to plant some seeds!
Even though I have a garden, I don't use it to grow vegetables in it. I only rent this place and can thus not change anything in the garden. I do have a cherry tree, which I'm really happy about, as I love cherries. I eat a lot of vegetables, and grew up eating mostly home-grown vegetables.
I noticed that I actually have a lot of space on my windowsills. After some research I found out that a lot of vegetables and herbs can be grown indoors as well. Decision made. I went out and got some soil, pots and two kinds of seeds. Today I planted peppers and radishes. I'm curious to see if and how they'll grow.
Besides, planting and growing my own vegetables made me happy for some reason. I'm growing plants :-) Of course, I'll keep you updated on the progress the plants make!
