G'night Garden!

Today, for one of the last times this year, I played in the dirt.  Put the chives in the herb garden, and planted the peach pits next to 'em so I don't forget where they are next spring...("note to self, don't plant tomatoes next to the herb garden, that's where you started the peach pits!")  Other bulbs are waiting to get their pictures taken so Ron can ID them for me.  Stupid bag didn't come with an ID key, just a bunch of bulbs!

Not too much to do, but I did manage to bring some herbs inside so we can have fresh all winter.  Kept forgetting to do it previously, and had to then either wait 'til spring for it to come back, or worse still, had to go buy another one!  There's English Thyme, Greek Oregano, and Rosemary now perched on my breakfast bar, awaiting their final move to the sill above the kitchen sink.  I'm going to leave them be where they are now for a week so they don't get too shocky.

Also split up the African Violet baby my Mom gave me, which turned out to be twins, evidently.  They're now recuperating in the South window.  Seem to be handling it OK, but they've only been split for about 5 hours. 

Nothing much else here, for now.
