I've never done the roll call before, mainly b/c my life is so danged exciting I know most of you can't keep up !! Let's see, my garden on the porch is thriving, despite the high temperatures we've been having. I don't have a large yard here, and the only place with hours of full sun is the front porch, so there you have it. I am growing herbs (basil, rosemary, chives, thyme), The cilantro turned to seed early on, I assume from the heat. I have two pepper plants in pots, a jalapeno and banana plant. The banana plant is home to a tiny praying mantis !! He is soooo cute. My asparagus ferns and spider plants have doubled or tripled in size. I will have to give at least one of the ferns away, I just don't have the room. Part of the porch garden is a long row of amaryllis plants I am trying to bring back. I got these from Himself's mother (she is an expert gardener in Juneau, AK) a few Xmas's back. They bloomed for several years in the winter, then stopped. Now I am feeding the bulbs in the hopes they will bloom again. For annuals I have some white petunias an a red geranium (I love live blooming flowers). My sub (lamb) and I had plans to meet up at the end of June. He planned to take off work and visit for a couple days, but instead of a trip to see his Mistress, he got a major medical procedure ! The good news is they let him go home the next say and everything seemed normal. The bad news is they don't know what is causing his chest pains. Himself and I are doing wonderfully well, we make a great team and it just keeps getting better and better. Now, if I could just stop making him eat brown rice, he'd be much happier (he hates the texture.) I think a directive along those lines is coming soon . . . Cat are well. Still going through major dominance issues, but what else is new? I'm going to try and upload a pic of the praying mantis. Best to all !!
