Why not cut it back? Dry the oregano and put in a jar. Then use as herb in food come fall. (not sure about the mint, but then again mint spreads like a weed, so cutting it back may not be bad idea)

NO!!!!!!  Not with the heat wave coming.  Transplant when it is cool and then water well forthe first few days...

so my mint and oregano have grown proudly. but they are currently choking out my citrus thyme and my sage.  i dont really want to cut the oregano or mint back any.  is it safe to move the thyme and sage to more open areas at this point in the season?

Parts of the Conservatory have reopened.

Haven't been home in over a week. I'm scared to see what I'll find, tho reports suggest that our garden may have been spared the slaughter.

I'm so sad about the conservatory. My garden suffered a lot...the tomatoes lost all their fruit and most of the blossoms and leaves...they look like skeletons. :(

Terrible news about the Conservatory.  It's one of my absolute favorite places anywhere.  I hope they don't lose too many plants.

I hope everyones garden survived the big storm last night. Unfortunatly the Garfield Park Conservatory was hit pretty hard. Over half of the glass in the fern room has been shattered and the desert room has also taken a big hit. The conservatory has been closed indefinitely. I know a lot of us have spent some time there and have seen the conservatory through hard times before.

Please please pass this along and if your are so inclined donate on there website.

Howard - I am pretty sure the Humboldt Parkito (community garden) across the street has tons of peppers. they are in a huge row all by themselves IIRC. It is pretty much a give/take

arrangement. feel free to stop by anytime : it is at 1636 N Richmond (1 block east of Humboldt Blvd.) call or text me or Marco (his landlord seth is the caretaker / founder) and if we are around stop by and say Hi.

Here is something for people that like to plan ahead:

I have potted up some shoots of a red tiger lily. It thought that I had killed it, but somehow it survived.It seems to growing well

It will not bloom this year, so this is for people with a multi year plan for their yard.

Here is stockphoto. Mine look a lot like this though.

I live in A'ville. PM me if interested
