They always struggled to live at our last place (I couldn't even keep mint alive there) but they seem to do much better here. They're not in anyplace that will cause problems if they escape their beds and my kids are keeping them well-mowed anyway. My kids have very stinky breath!

I need to transplant my garlic chives. They're about three years old but in a partially shaded spot. They don't get many flowers.
Leeks, boy do they have pretty flowers, hummingbirds and bees went nuts over them last summer and they self-sowed!
