Natives, Herbs, & Peppers

I re-potted all the peppers today.  They are still fairly small (but have some true leaves) but should start bolting up if the weather stays in the mid-80s some days!  I have: 1 Purple Beauty (if it's true), 2 Jimmy Nardello, and 6 Goat Horn. I'm planning to buy a Serrano, possibly a Jalapeno, and a Poblano or 2.

I can cross off some herbs from my list.  Hopefully I can get them planted sometime this week.

Peppermint, Spearmint, Lemon Balm, Curly Parsley, Flat-leaf Parsley, Chives, Lavender, Variegated Lemon Thyme (my fav!!!)
I still want to get some basil (Thai and Italian), Thai mint, and probably sage to replace what I have from last year.

The native plants are showing signs of life.  The Oakleaf hydrangea is putting out light green, super fuzzy leaves.  And the Scarlet hibiscus is coming back up after I chopped off all the dead stems in the winter.


It is still pretty windy.  I don't remember it being so breezy last year. It also seems to shift a lot, so it's really trying for the taller plants, I bet.
