Slow start this year.
Few chickpea sprouts up, and some vetch (including the seed I was sent by the Etsy seller who said they were hog peanut, so, by season's end, maybe I'll have a clue what they are.
Hooker's Chives came back (they basically permanent now,) but they still taste of basically nothing, so not much use.
Catmint and Chinese Mint back (Chinese Mint a little slow.)
Of sown herb seeds, I THINK the Syrian Oregano has sprouted, but not sure. Still waiting on South African Rosemary and Green Lavender.
Holy Basil plants died over winter (whitefly proved too much,) but a dropped seed sprouted.
Planted three pots of tomatoes (my own saved seed); a green cherry (wrote on packet "slightly longer") a pink cherry (the one that showed up in the Open Minded pot last year, or the year before,) and a packet market "Orange Fuzzy.)
Cuke patch divided in four; cucamelon variant (Melothria trilobata), Crystal Apple, Richmond Apple, and one yet to be sown (need to talk to my neighbor about her luffas. If she's already sown them, I'll plant the Apple Luffa seeds in area 4. If she hasn't, I'll give HER the Apple Luffa seeds and sow something else there.
One pot of White Roselle (had to be a pot; I know it won't flower until winter here, so I need to be able to carry it inside.
Rice beans failed again. Worse, it looks like that brand finally got a seed checker, so no more off types . So that's it, probably (if I ever go back to the Chinatowns, I'll look around, but I think that was the last "impure" brand.
Still have the plants that MIGHT be Capsicum lanceolatum, so that'll go out for the summer (though, given they have gone through a whole year and every day length possible, what's missing to get them to flower baffles me.
Will start corn soon; need to prep patch, prep cold frame, and assemble/install new cage first.
