I seem to have not killed the Neem trees thus far

Which is fairly impressive, given my track-record of being able to kill virtually any plant (including Basil).
Then again, Neem trees are found alongside roads all over India, and given the general condition of roads/traffic there, I guess I'm a breath of fresh air...

Incidentally, this is what they were like on April 6th....

Incidentally, FWIW, the Might Huntress of Plants is not leaving them alone.  When she is not asleep, she actually tries to chew on the leaves.  Which is quite amazing, given how bitter they are.  Go figure...
