My name is Laura, and I have an addiction.

Or several addictions.  If you've read any of my posts, you'd know that I am addicted to sugar.  Addictions run in my genes.  You may also have noticed that I'm developing an addiction that I've ignored.  So here I am now - declaring my addiction to plants.  No, not that certain fun-loving California herb, but all plants in general.  You see, when left unsupervised, I end up planting vegetables and herbs in anything resembling a pot.  I now have nearly 15 plants growing in my courtyard and 2 on my desk at work.  After today's shopping spree (the nursery was having a 30% off sale!), I now have the following species: rosemary, basil, stevia, Anaheim peppers, jalapeño peppers, Early Girl tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and onions.
Surely, now my neighbor Drew will never agree to water my plants ever ever again.  Looks like I won't be going anywhere for awhile.  Time for more visitors!

In other news, I found my new favorite produce market: http://www.demartiniorchard.com/  They have samples for EVERYTHING, and it's relatively inexpensive for such fresh, high quality goods.  That's where I purchased a canary melon and Crunchfuls cereal (a Mountain View-based product).
