The feverfew hasn't germinated at all, so I re-seeded it (and over-seeded the tiny pot, I might add) and watered it very thoroughly before sealing it off again with shrink-wrap (which I fail at, I am hopeless with thin films of plastic, it seems). No sign of Dracaena, though the coleus plants are doing great. Chives are still very spindly, if healthy. I won't have time to check up on the club garden until Wednesday, and then I may go and seed some morning glories if nothing else turns out to be germinating (because they're so hardy). If I get around to it I'll soak St. Johns Wort (Common) seeds tomorrow over night so I can plant it around Wednesday with bee balm (Marshall's Delight) and thyme (Olde English).
I brought back one of the three bunches of mint with me to Davis and hung it from the bulletin board. It makes me happy. I will probably have way too much dried mint in a few months so I might do free-mint mailing then. We'll see.
Random info of the day: all plant cells have cell walls, some have only primary cell walls, some have both primary and secondary cell walls. Primary cell wall material must be laid down first before secondary wall can be laid down (which is why you'd never see a plant cell with only secondary cell wall) and is ... one of my professors once described it as sort of paper-towel consistency. Secondary cell wall is much thicker. It's what we usually refer to as wood.
