I planted a couple of lemongrass "suckers" that my nice neighbor brought over in February and seriously I did not believe they would survive. One has a few roots, but the other was just a stalk that was dead looking in a matter of days and stayed that way alll "winter." But when Spring came there were a few green tips showing and look at them now:
There are a few dead leaves due to the fact that while I was away on a trip someone who was not aware that I had installed an automatic sprinkler system decided to water my plants for me and shut the valve off after watering. Fortunately this was only one day before my return so nothing died.
Three of my baby figs lost all their leaves, but the root systems were strong and they all started leafing out again in a couple weeks.
I have another before and after shot posted on
The Empty Cabinets of my Mind. It shows one day's growth in my new EasyGreen Auto Sprouter.
