I’ve managed not to kill the little succulent garden yet. The Graptopetalum paraguayense dropped some leaves when I transplanted them, which I guess is common; I plugged the dropouts down into the soil and will see if I can get them to sprout. The G. pentandrum is looking a little peaked...38°C / 100°F -

The lemongrass continues to thrive, and we’ve even pulled off a few stems and chopped them up very thinly into Thai stir-fry. Good stuff.Cloudy 15°C / 59°F -

The leeks went into Earthboxes or bigger containers about three weeks ago, and they’re slightly bigger around than pencils now. Grow, tiny leeks, grow!Cloudy 14°C / 57°F -
