Getting Plants In Before the Rain



It looks like rain for the next 5 days or so, which is perfect, as I have all 20 Wood Ferns in the ground, as well as 5 Christmas Ferns, and the 4 Pieris.  I’ve also over-seeded with grass seed that I soaked for three days before mixing it with Moorganite and spreading.

I still have 16 smaller plants to get into the ground, but they’re fine in pots for now, and will get placed after — or perhaps between — the rains.

The 16 small plants include two Bee Balms, three smaller ferns of unknown type (one is labeled Tassel Fern), a Japanese Holly-fern, four Salvia, and six pink Hummingbird Mints.  These will join the many Black-eyed Susans, Day-lilies, Daffodils, and Cat Mints in the side yard and the orchard area.
