Well I went to get some herbs to plant later after May 24. I couldn't get
lovage locally, but did manage to get spearmint and sweet basil. Now the
trick will be to keep it alive and well till it can be transplanted to
outside. Between my black thumb and my cat I see a challenge in my future.
This was a total impluse buy as the green house nursery at the top of my
street was finally open for the season and I was driving by it on the way
home from veggie buying spree.

I bought some elepant garlic, beets, fennel, anahiem pepper, frozen shrimp
and lemon grass. The cashier recognized the shrimp and the beets and I had
to educate him in the other stuff.
