Well as you can see... we're all wondering why you planted them in the first place ? and I did buy a bamboo cutting board oil from China ? to use instead of castor oil. I got turned against it at least 62 years ago... thanks to my mom thinking it's a cure for what ails you.?You can just purchase the seeds on line, at least we can here. My plants are really popping up now. I have a few out by the mail box that i started to cover during the hot hot sun of the day. The sun’s rays these days are scorching.
