What's growing on, Beehaw?

Stepping on @LallyLuckFarm's toes because I like these posts
It's been a frigid and gusty week here in New England, I needed two pairs of gloves for my bike ride to work yesterday! Just a couple of kale plants hanging on in my garden outside, but inside my potted camellia sinensis recently flowered for the first time! I'm currently battling a spider mite infestation and it did not enjoy lack of watering while I was away for Thanksgiving, but hopefully it'll bounce back in the spring.
What's growing on for you all? I hope all you southern hemisphere folks are enjoying the peak of the season!
Tea is the goal! It's been growing from seed since February of 2023. I've made all of one cup of tea so far, from some prunings last spring. It was nice (:
I don't expect to be able to harvest in any sort of quantity for a couple years yet, so for now I guess it's mostly decorative. The flowers were pretty!
Sounds neat.
During my visit in Sri Lanka I plucked and dried some leaves. Sadly itbwas only 1g. Tasted good though.
Wish you best of luck and a good tea ;)
