Plants around the house.

Worth1 · April 8, 2008

Tomatoes aren't the only thing I like to grow, here is just a small sample of some of the stuff I have around the house.
It is a year long ordeal.
I have to ad that two of these plants are NOT what you may think they are, one is a Maple and the other is Vitex plant.

It's Spanish Lavender, thats sort of what it looks like all of the time.

I think it blooms down I'm not for sure as I am not at home a lot of the time.

I planted about 5 variety's and this is the one that did best.

The Vitex AKA Chaste tree is an excellent lebido depressent. So don't ingest it!!

Great looking plants.

Thanks Bryan,
It is also called a Monk pepper for the same reason.
Since I am married and the north slope has about a 1000 men to 1 woman, it might not be a bad idea.

"Spanish Lavender"

I've seen something very much like this in purple at HD. Do you have a hot dry climate there? If it does well for you, I should get some.

Yes I do and I'm told if you treat it like Rosemary it does great.

The heavy rains drowned out my French lavender last year.

Rosemary grows like a weed here. Maybe if I plant enough of these and rosemary, they will be my weeds from now on.
