2010
May 9: I bought a plant at the Conservatory plant sale.
June 17: I set it out about 2 weeks ago and it is doing very well.
It is producing small flowers, which I nip and eat, and they are quite sweet.
July 2: Coming along.
August 6: Flourishing.
December 31: I harvested it at the end of summer, but I haven't found the leaves useful.
Extracting the sweet substance seems impractical.
