But they are still staying away from the rosemary, sage and onions. Thankfully, I put an onion in each of the pots. Not all of them rooted, and the ones that did have been free of the mites.<br /><br />I have not tried indigo yet, but I'm going to be chopping off my woad leaves after BikeMS, if they are still alive by then. I wish I had time to do it before we go!!!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-22571419372075975142016-09-02T21:32:20.517-06:002016-09-02T21:32:20.517-06:00I hope with all my heart whoever took my pepper pl...I hope with all my heart whoever took my pepper plants burned, burned, burned, Pat.

Go figure. The sage just had to go, but my rosemary plant is at least 15 years old and I couldn't bear to part with it since I had raised it from seed. Using a combination of high-pressure spraying and pruning I did finally manage to get rid of the little buggers. Still have that rosemary plant. :)<br /><br />Nice raised beds! (Good work, Lizard.) Have you ever thought of growing indigo for your dyeing experiments? I stumbled across a post about it here: http://www.donnakallnerfiberart DOT com/2015/08/first-vat-of-homegrown-indigo/<br /><br />:)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-52015350752335964262016-08-11T05:10:02.714-06:002016-08-11T05:10:02.714-06:00lmao at the smoking peppers.

That was lots of pots too lolPat Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745293224202430152noreply@blogger.com
