Etsy and plants!

Reading public,

My Etsy shop, featuring prints of illustrations, has been up for approximately 15 days, has already been included in three Treasuries, and had items marked by various people as "Favourites," but alas no sales to report.  I anticipate that over the next week, with the hopeful listing of a few new items and some calculated posts in the Etsy forums, we might see our first sale.

In other news, the garden!
Unfortunately, I don't have pictures to show you yet.  I can say, however, that the seeds on top of the refrigerator are doing well.  Quinoa* is in the lead, with broccoli coming in second and the butterhead lettuce a close third.  There's only one bak choy, apparently very much ahead of his time, and no news from the butternut squash, cantaloupe, romaine lettuce, sweet peas, or three varieties of basil.

It's more or less been raining (hard) for three weeks, all upturned containers in the entire Bay Area are full of murky water, and new leaks in shoes, roofs, and bags are discovered each day.  It can't last forever (right?).  When the sun does come shining through, the plot next door will see the addition of beans, pickling cucumbers, carrots, radishes, and more.

Stay tuned for pictures!

*Quinoa, for those who are unfamiliar, looks like this on the plant.  This is exactly the sort I planted.
