amazing the kind of stuff he can grow in the research triangle park area, I think that morrisville has a huge south asian population. I believe they are going to a online nursery in the spring where they ship stuff out but he does landscaping and helps people set up asian gardens all over the triangle

Remarkably Stereotypical South-Florida winter day today. 70F at Noon with a deep Blue-Dome sky, it warmed up quick after a low of 53F. Dewpoint in the Mid-50's. Makes you happy to be alive

Current temps


Those icons are special reports for Wind Chills. I only see them pop up during these situations of course. Wind Chills in the -20s.


Binghamton feels like -25F now.

These are temps. Burlington struggling past low single digits




Wind Gusts. NW Flow gusting to 30mph here. Icons are in kts. Each full line = 10kts.
3 full lines = 30-34kts.

As I said, didn't feel too extreme when the wind wasn't blowing.

Being from Palestine sage and thyme are 2 very important parts in our diet definitely want so grow some! First time I heard of this nursery. It is a bit far away though but it will be worth it. These guys have some nice herbs!
Yeah I think there there is a huge bio tech presence around there, we traveled all the way from dc just for the nursery and to buy stuff around there, tons of indian markets you cant find even in dc where we live, there isnt another south asian nursery that I know of. if you are looking for mediterranean and middle eastern breads and foods neo monde is right near there, all of it is very near the rdu airport. neo monde is the best grocery bakery and restaraunt in that area in my opinion Neomonde. there is another neo monde in raleigh I believe.

Make sure you call vedic before you go as I believe they are going completely online and shipping from the nursery from what my wife has heard, we havent been in a year or so. I am surprised that more south asian nurseries are not around the country, huge market in that rtp area at least. he doing really well with the landscaping south asian style gardens, Vedic Gardens & Nursery, LLC - Cary, NC, US 27519

. you should also try homewood nursery in durham or logans as well for sage and thyme. we hit those when we are in that area Homewood Nursery - Rooted in Raleigh since 1967! Logan's Garden Shop | Logan Trading Company
