Hi greeneyes and everyone!
I went out and watered. Two of my four sunflowers have had their heads destroyed. The first of the heads to open has been terribly eaten on. The other is a bit smaller than that one. I was bending the taller of the two over, and it was so weakened by the ants and whoever that it broke, so now left with one.
Was amazed to see the anemic okra plants produce another two pods, one of which was ready to pick.
Another surprise - which I noticed several days ago - is that the turmeric root has sprouted and sent up a couple of shoots! I had tried to sprout it in water with rooting powder. Read up on it, and it seems it likes dry, so went ahead and put it in the dirt. I thought it was dead, but here it is!
The strawberry plant is happy and put out a runner.
The herbs, including the oregano, thyme, stevia and parsley are thriving. The mint and bee balm have been munched a bit by someone but are growing and otherwise healthy.
I bought some echinacea plants several days ago to use as props in a club program. I plan to start another echinacea patch somewhere.
Good to hear from you. I had lousy luck with sunflowers didn’t even get a flower let alone a seed. LOL
I have some ginger that I’m going to try to get going from one of the fingers. I have a celery root going pretty good too.
