winter results

Well for once I did not loose as many plants. Ice plant is still here,
and curry looks okay too although it suddenly has a lot of leaves drooping- I wonder if it wilted from draft or needs more water. Pot feels very light. I moved it further from the door, and gave it a drink.
My tarragon dried up- I was being careful to let it stay dry but I overdid it. Rosemary looks dead, sigh. I will have to replace it yet again.
However I got stevia through the winter this year! I've been picking it's bug-riddled leaves for sweetner in my tea every morning, to clean off the plant some and I can tell now, the new foliage growing in is untouched. So seems I managed to stop that tiny bug as well.
I am going to re-spray with soapy water the ice plant, stevia and rue. It's warming up so perhaps some surviving pest might revive.
