About 3 Weeks Later...













Things have really taken off! I was out of town for about a week and when I came back the seeds were full blow sprouts! Yay!  The weather here had dipped down into the 50s for a few nights so my gardening compadre took them inside and returned them outside in the morning.

In additions since last time include:

  • Parsley (Petroselinum crispum)
  • Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum)
  • Trailing Lantana (Lantana montevidensis)
  • Pineland Lantana (Lantana depressa)
  • Copper Canyon Mexican Marigold (Tagetes lemmonii)
The Lantana's and Mexican Marigold's were planted for their extremely high nectar value. And milkweed acts as a caterpillar host- soooo I hope that I'll soon have a thriving butterfly garden!
