[Sca-cooks] Spring plantings

what.

I sort of skim the list nowadays, so I might have missed the original email.
:)

I actually plant stuff in september since I live in Caid and my back patio
is VERY warm.  Pretty much all my planting is in large terra cota pots.

My herbs are now pretty darn huge, but WILL die back once the REAL summer
heat comes.  I had a aloe vera plant that took over a pot and I have to sit
and separate them out.  One plant turned into about 50 (I don't think I am
exagerating).  Anyone local want some aloe vera?  Some people drink it, I
hear with orange juice.  Supposed to be VERY good for you.

My peach tree already has small peaches this year...so early.  Our weather
has been whacky.  I was going to plant some runner beans (was actually going
to see if I oculdn't try to grow Edame), but never got around to it...I'd
have to grow them from seeds since the nurseries around here don't carry
them. I have to go to the internet and buy the stuff.  Hadn't had the money
this year. :(
