I'm always interested to know what others are growing.

The lemongrass I bought on May 2nd rooted quickly in water and was
*delighted* to be put into a pot of dirt a week ago. All 3 stalks are
growing new leaves like crazy.

A gift of two "generic" tomato plants seem happy and have flowers, A
California Wonder pepper has some little teeny peppers started. Must
watch for sun-scald. After having 1 old packet of dill seed, and some
equally old seed I'd saved fail to germinate, I invested 10 cents in a
new packet, and sprinkled dill everywhere. It's all coming up. Parsely
is in its 2nd year and 3 flower stems in bud will soon give me plenty
of new seeds. The little rosemary appears to be becoming bushier and
looks well. I was able to separate 4 stems of basil (K-Mart
over-seeding in a single pot) into 3 plants. One is quite handsome and
vigorous; 2 are looking a tad yellow. Ohmigod -- I forgot to water the
chives! Fortunately, we've just had a series of every-other-day
t'storms, so they should be OK. Oregano is flourishing. And
horseradish, of course. Yes, it's in a pot. My taro/Elephant Ear has
produced one perfect leaf on an 8" stem.

Two of the Kaffir Lime seeds I tried to start indoors in the dead of a
freezing winter survived and have put out one tiny leaf each. I *must*
saw off 3-4' of camellia so they get more light. All the Thai basil
seeds I planted germinated. Am waiting for true leaves before I
transplant.

So far, no sign of bugs except one missing basil leaf.

The weather has been ideal for plants, 'though very uncomfortable for
humans. 15 degrees above "normal" for nearly a month now, owing to the
Bermuda High which set up early this year. There was a dry (no rain;
plenty of humidity) 2-wk period, but we've had some good t'storms this
past week. Side effect has been power outages -- I'm getting tired of
setting clocks and the phone answering msg every other morning.
