Started a plot of seedlings today. With a peak of sunshine for the first time in what seems like weeks here in the Oregon valley, the vitamin D inspired me to take a cycle down to the local gardening store to purchase some trays, soil, and seeds. I am starting the endeavor small with various herbs (cilantro, sage, chamomile, lavender, etc.) that I hope to make some tea blends with along with vegetables that I know will get great use in the house (onion, carrot, pea.) I am currently in the market for a growing lamp and am hoping to get the garden turned and ready for transfers in the new couple weeks. Cheers to self-sustainability and organic produce that costs literally cents to produce!
In other news: Imperial IPA had a very successful primary fermentation with constant CO2 activity for an entire week. When transferring to the carboy, the scent of the week-old brew had me gasping for air and wiping tears from my eyes with its potency. The beer now sits in glass for another 2-3 weeks before bottling. Stoked to see how it turns out! Midterms start Monday so my life is momentarily consumed by a lot of integrals, cellular respiration, and oxidation reactions. Working on formulating a plan for the upcoming summer of work/internships and spreading kindness in whichever way I can.
