| Hello everyone, I thought I would introduce myself from here in Houston, TX Of course we are not doing much in the gardens right now but after this short cold snap I am planning for working in the gardens thru next week as I will be getting plants very soon. I will be growing herbs, a tomato, and lots of chili peppers along with my 3 rose bushes all in containers as we are now in a rent house after being flooded out by Hurricane Harvey (5 feet of water in the house) and we were on TV being rescued. Of course that was back in 2017. And now it is 2020 and we are keeping as busy as we can under the circumstances. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.

 I'm north of you in Kingwood near the Big Airport. Were actually just a few blocks south of the Montgomery County Line. They share some of their cooler temps with us on occasion.

| Well right now I am looking forward to receiving a bunch of stuff tomorrow. I am scheduled to receive a 5 tier Greenhouse and one of my seed starter kits which should mean I can possibly put my new pepper seeds into a seed starter and then into the greenhouse. Then on Monday April 20th I should receive the other seed starter with a dome. I might have to order a few more seeds while I am at it.

| Well, I have received and planted virtually all of my chili pepper plants and I am just waiting for fruit, I have put a bunch of chili pepper seeds and I hope to get some seedlings but so far nothing. I have added 3 rose bushes to my garden and several herbs including several types of basil. We have planted several succulents and I have my "Desert Rose" which right now is blooming a lot. For the most part all of the plants are relatively small and just getting started. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant. Robert Louis Stevenson |

| Which basils did you choose Will? and most assuredly hope they do well! So many roads to take, choices to make, and laughs to share! |

| Well lets see I got the regular sweet basil, thai basil, Red Ruebin, and two others that do not come to mind. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant. Robert Louis Stevenson |

| Hmmm, I haven't been impressed with the Thai, never grown Red Reubin... where did you order from or find them? I have 3 sweet basil, one is a variety 'Eleanor' supposedly resistant to the downy mildew and doing fairly well. So many roads to take, choices to make, and laughs to share! |
