The lucky bamboo top left has been greatly neglected, but is still alive in an egg shell filled with sawdust.
The rest of the plants shown here are edible and prolific enough that I have been able to pick and eat a salad every day for the past 2 months, which is remarkable to me, given that except for the roses they are all experimental microgreens growing in tin cans, milk cartins, and other repurposed food containers.
I have learned a lot from them and plan to "plant earlier" and do better next fall. We will see whether anything is alive when I come home from my winter trip.
