I got wibbly concrete to put around my little dogwood. I wanted the least digging possible, so I literally set it on the ground and painted the ground on the inside, then followed outside the line to allow for concrete. Had a hell of a time fitting it, but finally got it done without much more digging. Good thing, too, because it was hot and humid; sweat literally running into my eyes.

That was really all I accomplished; fortunately the flowers were more productive.

My seeded rue looks pretty good.

The rue I bought.
