After months of working on THE project, yes in capital letters, we have been instead working on landscaping. It gives us some satisfaction to see things take hold and begin to grow. So far we have a new fuschia - they are very temperamental unless in EXACTLY the right spot and we got a miracle because by accident ours ended up there. Grown 6" already in 6 weeks. Typically when they are full grown they are about 4-6 ft tall and as wide as they can spread. Beautiful blooms. And no dont come by and pop ours!! As kids we did that to my grandmother's plant every time we walked by! POP. POP.POP.
Also planted cilantro and basil. I dont know if you know but in January, our beautiful basil plant went swimming in the pond. It never recovered and finally died completely dispute our trying to nurse it back to health. I wont mention who knocked it in but the person must have lost balance with the corona in his hand and kicked it in accidentally when he was dancing around the deck one afternoon.
We are dedicating one area to Asian spices - so far we have lemon grass, chives, pandena (sp?), and soon to be ginger! More coming as we continue getting clippings!
