It's alive!!!!!!!


We were eating supper the other day when THV excitedly pointed out that two nearby plants weren't dead.

So much faith in my horticultural abilities that boy has :)

I'm thankful I was warned by the lovely lady who started these seedlings for me that Jatropha podagrica loses it's leaves in the winter. I was a bit surprised they did it while still so young and likely would have tossed them out at Christmas time without the advice.

I wonder if they will get very big and fat this summer?

    oh ... and i've got a question:

    down where the leaves begin ... where the caudex begins to form ... what are those little things that look like three toed frogs feet?
