Itty-bitty baby kebbage! Less than a week; I planted Early Dutch Flat and Early Jersey Wakefield. I have no idea which it is, and it’s only for caterpillars anyway, but it’s growing!
Flowers are being lazy for the most part, but it rained hard last night, and it’ll be near 80F tomorrow; maybe that will inspire them.
I went out to the gradge to get the screen for the door we never use, but got distracted by some honeysuckle that was trying to resprout. I started digging, and found lots of Wormzillas, and really good dirt! The goddamned honeysuckle was growing right at the base of an Osage orange tree, and it was a big one, so I had to cut roots to get it out. Hopefully I killed it, but even if I didnt, I definitely fucked up its 2014 growing season! Fuck you, bush honeysuckle–die, die, DIE!!
I was so impressed by the soil that I bought some outrageously expensive Virginia snakeroot to put there. The stuff I brought with me didn’t make it, and there’s not enough sun there for the outrageously expensive pipevine that I’ll have next month when it ships. Besides, I like the sound of “snakeroot”. Hee!
I also bought a heat mat for my outrageously expensive hardy fuchsia seeds. I just hope it doesn’t cook them; they only need 70-75F. We’ll see. I stuck the two cups of Bird of Paradise seeds on it, too. Can’t hurt to warm a tropical!
