The tea plants have arrived!

I’m so excited! My tea plants finally arrived!  They were ordered from North Carolina and sent out on April 3rd. They were supposed to be here for the big Tea Sipper event last Friday.  I received a letter from California agriculture saying they were denied entry to California and sent back.  Then today for some reason, they arrived on my door step!  I really thought they were dead as it’s so hot and they have been in a box since April 3rd.  But, they were green with new sprouts on the ends and they look fine.  I immediately planted them in pots and set them out on my patio out of direct sunlight.  Hopefully they won’t go into shock.  But they are here!  As soon as I give them a chance to recover I’ll bring them in for a special tea class. What a wonderful day!!!
