I just love the smell. We only grow them as houseplants here and even at that rate they are very hard to please - I've given up.<br /><br />The rest look very pleasing too - good luck with the viola! I have a lovely little Molly Mot one that is finally doing really well this year, after 2 years of doing nothing.EBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09405771860220362327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979720903165549695.post-34162691310445403552009-06-06T22:16:00.656-05:002009-06-06T22:16:00.656-05:00My squash look about the same way.
