Eucalyptus & other stuff

First, finally pictures of my Noro scarf in progress! I guess I burned out about 3/4 of the way thru the first half. Haven't worked on it in a while although it's not really scarf weather anymore here in P-town.

There is a teeny tiny sprout in my eucalyptus starter! It is about half an inch tall and the leaves are nearly microscopic, and it's a sort of redish and greenish hue. For the most part I left it in my bathroom because it stays warmer in there, but on sunny days I'd try to put it in my kitchen window. I think I'm going to designate it my indoor plant, maybe try to train it to be a bonzai tree?

So I just read the back of my morning glory seed packet and the flowers don't bloom for 75 days or until late summer. Meanwhile the leaves themselves are getting prettier...But it was left outside for a while, and I noticed a dusty white spot on one of the leaves...too much sun? I took it back inside.
Mostly the one in the upper right looks questionable...

The Anise looks good, getting big, but checked the chamomile yesterday and it was limp and all floppy. I brought in the chamomile for most of the day yesterday, and watered it outside last night. Still looks sad today tho.

Chamomile :(
Sage, rosemary and thyme! Lookin good!


Most of the succulent terrariums are doing alright, except the hens and chicks in the coffee jar outside don't seen to be doing well. I don't know, maybe the colder mornings or too much sunlight or too much/not enough water. Thinking of getting a couple more jars and breaking it up into more gift terrariums.
