In gardening news, I managed to get my hands on a free strawberry plant a couple months ago and have since transplanted it into a terracotta strawberry pot. Its still new so it probably won't fruit for a while. My new Russian tarragon plant looks awful. It has several stems all coming up from the same spot. I may move it to a new container where it has more room for its roots to spread. Tarragon normally thrives from benign neglect, this one does not seem to be doing so. The oregano I received my boyfriends mother is doing much better. Its spilling out, draping nicely over the edge of the container. My Sweet Peas started out a bit leggy, but are crawling up their stakes. The moon flower grows a little more every day. I can't wait for it to really bloom!
I have moved all of the plants to the back porch where the direct sunlight they get is in the morning hours. They don't burn, they don't dry out to quickly, etc. I'm still adjusting to the "except in Florida" adendum I have to make, "Tarragon enjoys poor soils and thrives in drought...except in Florida."
Everyday I learn a little more.
