What's Growin' On: 4/28/06


Isn't It Love-ly? Isn't It Won-der-ful? (Yes, I'm singing.)

Realization Of The Day:
I have no idea what this is. I bought it last fall at a garden center clearance sale for 50 cents and transplanted it into a bigger pot full of rich, composty soil--which it apparently loves. Somehow between then and now, its little ID tag has gone missing. All I know is that it's a perennial--and it's very pretty. And I have to figure out somewhere to put it.

Am working on salad growing post.

  2. I was going to guess Clary Sage (which, as Steven says, is a salvia), and I think that's a popular perineal?

  6. Hi Jennie,
    Thanks! I never would have guess that considering the flowers are pink. I'm looking forward to finding out more about it. The good news is that it seems to like our crazy climate. : )

March 2013 update: My apologies for the inconvenience - I know word verification is a pain - but I've had to turn it on to help stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I've been getting every day. Thanks for your understanding.
