From yesterday, since I was too tired to post about it after having done it…

The Rose of Sharon bushes are all…alive! Both Grey Sticks and the Cliffie bush.

Yaaayyy! They’re even a little early, I think. Remains to be seen whether they’ll get enough sun where I’ve put them (probably not, but not moving them this year!)

I found this growing in the “desert” on the west side of the garage. C. ID’d it as clematis, which explains why the leaves looked familiar.  I’ll move it at some point in time to a better spot.

I planted both of my yellow honeysuckle plants; one dropped all of its leaves,  but hopefully the roots are still alive; those little bastards were expensive! Here’s the one that didnt drop leaves.

I also dumped three bags of soil into the bed for joe-pye and friends. When I came home after work today, I finished it. I planted mixed joe-pye, boneset, goldenrod (showy), purple ironweed, Pacific Giant delphinium, late figwort and two kinds of hollyhock (Indian Spring and King Henry VII). Hollyhock won’t do well there if it grows at all, neither will delphinium, and everything else needs cold stratification, so it’ll probably be an expensive pile of dirt for at least a year, but I tried!

Now, I’m tired and need to find something to wear to work tomorrow!
