I wondered what was growing in with my Ardisia. I recognized the grass, of course, and thought the other thing must be a weed seed left over from the last time the tree was outside for the summer. Nope! It was…The Little Hypoestes That Could. I have one in the Peperomia, which was no surprise […]

Only these so far, but it’s a start! Minor cardiac arrest today; I think Everwilde closed their ebay store. I had a bunch of stuff in my cart, but none of it was available! All the asters I’d wanted, plus other stuff…gone! Thankfully, they have a website, and the only thing that was actually sold […]
I did end up planting the columbine in the bed by the patio. I also forgot I’d stuck some lily of the valley roots that were “questionable” in there yesterday. Each cup marks a columbine, and the broken bit of brick that is effectively invisible marks the lily of the valley. I had the brilliant […]
I was too tired and too busy yesterday to post these, so it’s Sunday when I’m writing this, but I decided in the end to plant the little cups of roots, and the five spicebush. I put the spicebush with the existing stuff, mixing in the quarter bag of garden soil that I had, then […]
They were supposed to arrive yesterday, but thankfully, they didn’t because it took me ages to get them in their little cups, and last night was a work night. 20 wild phlox 21 Virginia bluebell 22 lily of the valley (plus some extra roots that might sprout if I plant them) It’s supposed to be […]
Roughly a hundred years ago, P acquired a roll of brown shop paper towel. It lived in the basement forever, and for some reason, he didn’t throw it out, even when we moved. Today, when five dormant spicebush plants arrived bare root, I was glad! Spicebush hates to be moved once it’s planted, but it’s […]
Score! I went to Buchheit at lunch to get potting soil for my first wave of wildflower roots, and quickly scanned the flower seeds just because…because flower seeds. Lo and behold, they had tons of ‘Goldfinger’ Mexican sunflower! After I paid $2.99 plus 50 cents shipping for 100 of them, but oh, well. I got […]
B has an RV sofa on Craigslist for $700. This dude emailed and said he wanted to pay with a certified cheque, and he was too busy to come and look at it, but would send the money and have me take out the $700, then pay for the shipping with the rest. I knew […]
