I didn’t get much done, but I did plant the 8 Lobelia cardinalis plants that arrived yesterday, and finally got the two grape agastache in the ground.

I’m giving fancy agastache one more chance; if the ones I got this year don’t live, then I won’t buy any more; I’ll stick with the native stuff.

The borage finally gave up a bloom.

I got the sample of milspec raschel fabric, too; it’s stiffer than finch feeder mesh, but the holes are perfect, and I think it’ll work. I bought 2 yards, and also some “foliage green” (military colour) webbing to put around the tops.

Might work for butterfly raising sleeves, too. Fuck you, wasps.

Also got dirt/poop for Virginia snakeroot, and some black-eyed susan and butterfly weed for Sarah-Flah’s garden.
