You Can Take the Girl Off the Farm....

Once Abbey was all moved into her dorm room (which is MUCH nicer than my first apartment), she pulled up the shades to get some natural light and exclaimed, "Wow!  What a great place to grow something.  Can you bring me something from the farm?"

I assumed she was NOT talking about marajuana.

I needed clarification.

Me:  "Sure.  What plant? How big?  Is this just for you or are you planning to start a business to sell it one ounce at a time?"

Her:  "Why, do a lot of people like mint?  

Ah!  Mint.  Whew!!

Step one:

Joel dug up one of my plants from the farm.

Step two:

Abbey found a suitable planting vessel.

Step three:

Luke poked holes in the bottom of the "pot".

Step four:

Chunk left to find small rocks for the bottom of the pot.  He may or may not have "borrowed" them from neighborhood yards.

Step five:

Squeeze this big old plant in that very narrow planter, trim, water and send it on it's way.

Step six:

Name it.  Stuart....Stu, for short.

Abbey is happy.

I am relieved.

Her roommate is thrilled - loves mint!!!

Chunk is still tight-lipped about those rocks.  

Stuart looks happy in his new home.

 

Fiddlestix Farms at UNL...WooHoo!!!
