The plant in the center is a spearmint that I just got at Plant Ranch, my favorite nursery. The mint around the outside was also labeled spearmint when I bought it years ago. They are different enough for one label to be wrong. Anyway, both are good and I have a nice mint patch.
I have a lime tree and this year it produced a few limes. I saved 12 seeds and planted them in these cups and left them on the dock in shade. After three months, nothing. Then, two months later I happened to look and 6 of them had come up. Fifty percent is a huge success rate for citrus. We will see what these do.
This is usually a bad sign. When my citrus throws this many flowers it usually has a hard time choosing which will stay and loses most of them. We'll see.
