THEME: puns on herbs and a great title: HERBAL TEASE (teas)
GOOD ONES:
Observation about sprouting aromatic plants SOME-THINGS-ARE-MINT-TO-BE
Like something even better than a pungent herb? BEYOND-BAYLEAF
Soul searching events? SEANCE
Where It.'s at? EUR [Italy is in Europe]
Every garcon has one CEDILLA [but not our keyboards]
Center of gravity? VEE [this and the garcon clue are "word clues" not "meaning clues"]
Half up front? HEMI
McCartney title SIR [not a song title]
Weatherman's line ISOBAR [not pick-up line]
They're history ANNALS
Equal-ize? SWEETEN [Equal = sugar substitute; note hyphen]
Letters from your parents? DNA
BTW:
Maidenform buy SLIP [do women still buy them? I thought they were pink-slipped]
Always butting in NOSY ["butting in" means interrupting; "nosy" means prying]
Third man? ABEL [I believe the attempt here, suggested by the question mark, is to refer to the famous Wells movie, but the title is The Third Man; hence, the clue should also contain the definite article.]
SEIS is not used in English.
RATING: ;D ;D ;D
