I haven’t been doing much, but the same cannot be said for seeds (at least some of them…it’s been so goddamned dry that I’m lucky I’m getting anything at all).

Aside from two spots that (something) dug out, the clover seeds that I planted around the pond are doing well. Tiny, and still need to be watered, but they’re growing!

The Christmas ferns may not have looked like much when I got them, but they’re putting out new fronds.

Finally, I found a wild plant that is neither overly common, nor a weed…penstemon! It’s over by the pile of sandstone/osage-orange stumps, so I’m going to have to move it (probably wait until the blooms fall off?), but I found a few plants.

I didn’t know whether prairie clover would germinate as quickly as Dutch white clover, but if it doesn’t, it’s certainly close. This happens to be purple, but the white has germinated as well.


More bebes! Still nothing from the parsley, but I have a bunch of tiny dill seedlings.

The last time I planted watermelon was in 2014. I guess these two are just seeds that didn’t germinate then, but they’re welcome to stay (unless I decide to move them somewhere else).
