field trip

I’ve moved the seedling to the windowsill in my bedroom because I think it will get more light here. Initially, I was concerned about things getting too cold here, but my entire apartment is cold all of the time, so I don’t think it’ll make much difference. Plus, this frees up some space on my kitchen counter.

After a week, I returned the seedling to the kitchen before traveling to New Hampshire for a conference. I’ll only be gone a few days, but the heat will be off and I don’t want it to catch the drafts from the window, especially during the snowstorm that’s expected this week. Fingers crossed it can brave a few days on its own.

The seedling doesn’t seem to be developing much in the way of height or leaves, but it still has a bright, fresh, green hue to it.
