I need to try to be more organized if I'm going to keep at this. As far as growing things, including olives, from seed, it's mostly dumb luck. I use the "shotgun" approach - if you plant enough seeds, cuttings, etc., something's bound to grow occasionally. I just enjoy the experimentation as much as anything else. Good to hear from you!<BR/><BR/>JeffJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538769872317933763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193243073610128607.post-72132285091690383022008-07-02T08:50:00.000-07:002008-07-02T08:50:00.000-07:00What a brilliant site (thanks, Les!)

Your photographs are beautiful, and your plants are amazing. I have to say, I love black and blue salvia, but with all the ground I have to cover, I tend to like prolific plants--it's nice to have a free crop every Spring. I very much look forward to reading your blog, and I'm glad to know about another Tidewater gardener. Happy Staycation--CosmoCosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260783700118031314noreply@blogger.com
