They just started naming them this year. Only the Weather Channel is doing it and I think I remember reading that NOAA or the hurricane prediction centers asked them not to.
I'm seeing growth on a lot of things out in the garden. Desperately waiting to see if I can find INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE should it start growing. I planted it last year but forgot to put a tag in the ground. It was right in an area where the dog tore things up so I am not sure that it survived.
