Seedlings! Already little green bits are poking through starter mix. This is Russian Tarragon on the right. It’s taste has grown on me the last few years. I’ve already a well-established bunch in the herb garden but it’s not enough to keep up with the demand. Last year was the first time I hadn’t supplemented it with a pot of the French variety (an annual in my climate).

Beside it is one of the decorative grasses, Purple Majesty Millet, that I thought I’d try this year. I’m putting it on the south side of the deck along with some Pampas Grass. It’ll be a nice pretty addition there during the fall and winter.

Also sprouting but not above the surface yet are the Yard Long Beans I bought last year. I was very happy to see they were still viable.

Other new things being sprouted include, Dwarf Marigolds for companion planting and artichokes.
