| Help needed with identification of a few plants that I either forgot, or weren't labeled. I love everything! Thanks so much, everyone! I am only posting this in TN gardening, so I don't offend any of those ornery members in other forums (uhumVEGETABLE GARDENINGuhum). ;-) If you did a blog post about Fall MTPS, post away! =)

| Steve--What type of parsley do you have? I raise the Italian, great flavor and you plant it in the ground. Have had mine for 7 years. If yours is not the Italian, will bring you plenty in spring. Great in soups, salads and baked potaoes for sure, :). Wanda |

| I'm not sure, exactly. I got it from that lady who was next to me on the right who had a ton of herbs. She gave me the Indian Mint too! =) How do I identify what type it is? |

| From my research, it looks like I need to bring the Wandering Jew indoors. Everything else should be ok outdoors during the Winter. Some may need a slight mulching. |

| Remember these are small plants that will need some TLC. This is just Me, your Aloe, Catus, Wandering Jew, and the unknown plant (I've had that plant, and got it from my Mom in central Alabama. The little seeds fall off and make new ones. "She" called it an 'Alligator Plant' from whomever gave it to her. Just that one year have I seen it. I have looked that name up and nothing shows what your's or mine was like. It is a wonderful plant, hope you get the information you are needing to keep it! |

| The wandering jew came from me. I have had it in the ground over winter and it is fine. I think that variety (I think it is called purple queen) will be okay. I got some last summer and it came back this year and I got it from someone who has had it in the ground for years. Rebecca |

| I got some of the parsley from Heather too. I wondered if it could go outside now or needed to stay in over winter. i got some basils from her too that I assume need to stay in. I think most, if not all, basils are annual? I also got the purple plant- it is some kind of decorative pepper. I have a thing with the name stuck in one of mine. I'll look and post it later. |

| Columbia: Yea, I know. Most of them now have new homes (bigger pots) with more room to grow. The Aloe, i'm gonna leave in its current pot until I know more about it. The "Alligator Plant" is also staying in its current pot, at least for a little bit. I may take some of its babies it makes & put into another pot. I love that plant! =) I'll probably post updated pics of them all on my blog in a week or two. Rebecca: Good to know. Thanks for the plant! It has a new home now in about a 1 gallon pot. It'll be with my herb garden, violets & other indoor (over Winter, at least) plants in a sunny dual window corner of the house. =) I found the name on the purple plant. I think I remember Heather saying it was a peppery Basil of some sorts...not sure though. You are correct in that most Basil's (if not all?) are annuals. There are ways to get by that though, like keeping them indoors during the cold months, which work at least for a while. As a slight comparison, some people keep pepper plants (which are so not cold weather plants) for a few years. Anyways, glad you could join us at the swap. See you in the Spring! - Steve |

| If any of ya'll got the Greek Oregano from me it is very hardy. It comes back every year and spreads as well. It is the best for pizza and tomato dishes. Rhonda |
RE: My Blog Post about Fall MTPS
| | |
| I did, Rhonda, thanks! =) It got potted up to a larger container last night with the rest of the indoor plants & herbs I got from the swap. It smells awesome! |

| That "unknown" plant is Kalanchoe daigremontiana. Also called "Mother of Millions". I got one from someone last Fall and kept it in a pot inside over the winter. We put that pot outside this Spring and that thing went nuts. Mother of millions is right. If it hadn't been sitting on our concrete patio, I think we'd be neck deep in them by now. |

| Thanks from me too. Now I can let Mom know it is a kalanchoe daigremontiana. |
RE: My Blog Post about Fall MTPS

| You're both welcome. But can anyone pronounce it? That's a mouthful for sure. |
RE: My Blog Post about Fall MTPS
| | |
| You were right...that thing is taking over. ;-) 9 babies dropped off it already & one more about to...lol

RE: My Blog Post about Fall MTPS

| Ya'll need to bring some of those babies to the swap next time so we can all have some. |
