It rained most of the day and poured part of it, so I didn’t plant anything, but it’s warm, and rain doesn’t stop things growing!

Lilac, happier in its new spot.

Pokey-ass Grey Sticks are making progress, as is the Cliffie Bush.

I was pulling out bush honeysuckle seedlings here and there, and saw these. Can’t swear to it, but they might be jewelweed, though I thought it died last year in the heat before it could set seed. We’ll see!

I also found a few lily of the valley, but didn’t take pictures because they’re only little green points right now.

EDIT: I’d forgot what I planted with the bluebell, lily of the valley and bloodroot, but I remember now–Canadian columbine, and it’s coming up!
