Potted severe

I caved in and bought some plants online.
These are rosemary, basil and thyme.
I've just finished spending almost half a day attending to all my plants in my little balcony garden and have come back smothered in mosquito bites.

Apart from potting plants in new pots, I did I a bit of trimming, weeding out, fertilizing and nursing.
Added new dirt, aerated soil, added new compost which is actually just rinds of various fruits like watermelon and oranges.

The past few days that it rained most voraciously my plants did suffer some heavy damage.
Some stalks completely broke off, excessive water rotted one of my mint plants and two pots actually fell over to the other side on the ground.

There was a fair bit of damage control to be done and now I'm seated on my chair, discovering dirt under my finger nails and rubbing ointment of mosquito wounds.

I'd think this has been sort of a procrastination to keep away from all the writing I was talking about, but in my defense I did a wee bit yesterday, more like thought vomit but I'm ready to throttle it by the head for the next couple months.

No thoughts on dinner yet but tea is rightfully in order.
