They've struggled long enough. The herbs are all looking good except for the oregano and the thyme. They are both growing, but just don't look very healthy. Leaving plants behind is sometimes like leaving a child behind. Anyway, I'm off to work now, so everyone else can come out and play.
Darn starlings are smart enough to rub themselves with mothballs to get rid of lice.
Plant viruses are a given in this hot humid climate, I generally loose all my squashes and much of the tomatoes by late summer. About the only thing that's done well this year is the mint. My oregano,curry and rosemary are doing great. I cut them low. I tip them back.
