I just wanted to note that I now have little dill and wormwood seedlings popping up in my herb tray flat.
I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with all the wormwood. Its a good border plant for gardens because it deters animals. Although the border of our veggie garden isn't ready for plants.
I'm real excited about the dill doing well. I love dill and will make room for that anywhere. :)
Every spring my seedling collection grows exponentially. I can help it! The idea that I can turn a seed into a plant never ceases to amaze me. My monsterous seed collection and mile long list of things of things I want to grow doesn't help.

I found this on another website:
"Wormwood makes a foul smell tea that repels pests! Add a couple of handfuls of chopped wormwood to a bucket and cover it with boiling water. Stir it occasionally until it starts to ferment. At this point you can sprinkle it on the plants to repel insects on potatoes, eggplant and okra. It has a sticky residue so it "sticks" to the plants!"
...which is interesting...especially since i have the worst luck with eggplant and insects.
If I find any other info I'll let you know.
