Does anyone know what this bush is? It has green waxy leaves, growing wild here in VA.View attachment 1259455

Send that photo to your county ag extension office. Someone there should be able to id it for you.

Compare to bush honeysuckle . They are thick in the woods here and hold their leaves a long time into winter . I can't say for sure from the picture .

I started two trays--one of herbs and one of greens. And a couple six-packs of lavender. This weekend I'll go to town--it's supposed to rain on Sat evening and all day Sunday. And my seeds from Bakers came yesterday!!

I zoned out starting seeds yesterday. I got leeks, onions and chives in the ground last week and went to do herbs yesterday... The plan was 20 seed cups; 4 thyme, 5 oregano, 5 parsley, 6 basil. I prepped 20 cups, filled with dirt, had two rows of 10 cups. I planted an entire row of 10 in basil. Oops. Guess I'm canning some pesto this year?
New seed shelf/starting area is almost up and functional, but ran into a snag. My power strip with the surge protector is missing. Poof. Up and vanished. Did I lend it to someone? Move it somewhere incomprehensible? I have no idea and can't find it. So now I need a new one which is lame.

So far, we've planted quite a few tomato seeds (different varieties). Should get our growing station finished this weekend. Also planning to get lots of other seeds planted this weekend, as well.

Growing station? Picture please!

I'll try to get a pic once it's done. Nothing tremendous, mind you - just a table with grow mats & trays, and a wooden structure holding grow lights. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of extra room in there. Then we'll have to figure out how to keep the cats out of it. What did you do about that, Cap?
