|---|---|---|
| Spear Leaf Swamp Mallow (Pavonia hastata) | On May 16, 2021 | Maintenance performed Started collecting ripe seeds. |
| Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas 'Stokes Purple') | On October 11, 2017 | Plant emerged One of the three has started making shoots. The timing is bad as I'll have to baby these indoors through the winter months, but it's a start. Will get fresh sweet potatoes at a more appropriate time and try again. |
| Forked Blue Curls (Trichostema dichotomum) | On September 5, 2017 | Bloomed Taller than expected: Since I moved all my plants from my old garden in a big hurry plants are in a pot ghetto situation. As each plant blooms I tag them then I decide where to plant them in the new garden. The Forked Bluecurls had me fooled as they have grown about 3 feet tall in the new place. It was not until the first bloom appears that I fully realized which plant they were. I expected them to grow no taller than 2 feet but I was wrong. |
