Hello Again Rod,

I know this is your thread on seeds, but I thought you'd like to see how well the roots you gave me are doing...
Here's an update/pic of the great Virginia Snakeroot you sent me. They are doing great, but grow relatively slow. I'm considering covering them up with muslin until they get bigger. I'm afraid if a female lays eggs, there won't be enough to support one Cat, never mind a bunch...big sigh.
I'm also going to have to cover 2 Cassia Hebecarpa, a Purple Prairie Clover and 2 False Nettle...all with the same issues...they are all growing so slow. I'm thinking they will all have to remain covered this year and next year after they are established, they will be larger so they can sustain several cats each. I don't want to have to buy these plants again since they are all perennials. Oh well...
