I bought these sad sacks at the home depot one day when I was trying to find organic soil for my veggies. The tag said something like "seriously damaged plants-reduced" and they were CHEAP. I re-potted them; so far so good. We'll see if they make it once I get them in the ground. As wire said, "stay glued to your tv sets", or monitors as the case may be.
Also, I got all this other stuff in the ground and with a little help from Marissa last weekend, its all still alive! Mint, a few varieties of basil, chives, tarragon, oregano, cilantro, a few other herbs, plum, cherry and beefsteak tomatoes, kale, swisschard, snap peas, red and green peppers and a few others I am forgetting...oh, of course Marigolds. Not only are they really pretty in so many varieties, but their scent, which I happen to be a fan of, keeps away bugs and other pests.
Here are some pretty iris in the front that we inherited from the prior owners...
this is beautiful, unfortunately the truck dropping off mulch ran over some of my marigolds, but they are still alive. my lettuce is coming in too, and the bleeding hearts on my front step are eye-catching. looks like an awesome herb garden you got there, maybe i can come see it sometime in July.
