Aloe update and mint young ones

much is happening here and there, but here is another blog about our big aloe plant and its blooms.

Like many flowers on a spike the bottom buds open first and die and the blooming action goes upward..

yesterday the students got to get there hands on seedlings. They will be touching many more in the next few months. This is spearmint. I was thinking as we worked with the seedlings about how a plant that can be so hard to get rid of as an adult can be so fragile as a young one. We placed 5 seedlings into 4" square pots.
