This just in from our sister network, it appears that some kind of supernatural phenomenon is taking place as we speak. Green vegetation is forming inside one woman's home and consuming her front porch. It appears to be small it stature, but there plenty of it. Basically..................
I GOT SPROUTS!!!!!
They are small but mighty. I only have a couple in the pots as of now, but I'm excited! I've never been able to grow anything, so this is the cats pajamas man. I also started some veggie seeds to transplant into the garden and they are having a freakin' rager in there neighborhood.
I had to move everything indoors last night due to a bit of a cold snap we are having, but I think I'm just gonna keep my babies inside. Safe from creeps and out of harms way.
We will keep you posted as this story develops.We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

#11 Grow an herb garden
Ahhh mother nature, how I love you. I rolled out of my burrow at 8am for you. I provided a flesh-lunch for your fly children. I even had a near run in with a worm (gag!), just to give back to you. And what do I get as a thank you??? a sunburn and a throbbing back. Mother nature, you're kind of a bitch but I still love ya.
With the GORGEOUS weather we have been having I decided it was high time to get cracking on the herb garden. Keep in mind, I have never grown anything in my life. Unless you count a seething hatred for animal abusers, that has been growing for 28 years.
Anyhow, I made a midnight trek to Satan-Mart and stocked up on all my necessities:
1.) Big bag of dirt
2.) Seeds a plenty
3.) Experienced assistant
4.) High tech soil transporter and pots
5.) Most kick ass watering can in human history
I took my blue and yellow pots and filled each one 3" from the top with my soil. It's miracle grow so I think it's been blessed by the garden gods or something. Next, I took my little, bitty pinkie and started poking little holes for my seed babies. Then I slapped their asses into their holes and covered them with 1/4" of soil.
After they were tucked all snug into their dirty beds, I watered them with my poodle.
Don't they look happy???
Now, whether these will successfully grow or not I have no idea. I'm just glad I made the effort and I feel good about doing something with nature. I have to admit, I think I got bit by the gardening bug. 2 hours after I took these photos I planted 20 strawberry plants. Tomorrow I will be tilling up a 20' x 20' area to start work on my veggie garden. So bring on the bug bites and sunburn, I'm ready for ya.
Mother Nature you sucked me in.........bitch.
