There are not many – but they are there. Bloom scapes are starting. Plants ordered a few weeks ago are starting to arrive.
Two orders came in this week and spaces were made. Daffodils and iris moved aside and more daylilies took their place. Shaka Zulu and several more are now in the garden.
600 seeds have been planted and they are starting to sprout. Along with 1800 weeds.
Happy weeding time is here ! ( may 9 2008 )
Some things happen accidentally, like a plant that once planted changes the garden around itself. Perhaps this page will be like that. Even in ending – the next season is in a way beginning. The seeds from one year are of the same cycle as the fading leaves. Yet they mark the beginning of the next cycle, the year of growth to come. Even if it begins with a deep breath and a long pause.
This page kinda found its own spot. It was meant to be just another post. One more among others. For now it will not be moved.
Some new plants have been ordered. Well new to this garden. Trahlyta was introduced in 1982. It has been here 3 or 4 years. The tetraploid version, which I just ordered, has been around I will guess almost 10 years. I liked the original so much that I want them both. Think of them as nearly identical twins going in two different directions.
Besides the new plants there are all those seeds collected from last year’s garden. Not even half of them will fit here. So the choosing must begin…… yes master Yoda I must focus. But they all look the same. Shiny little black gems full of promise.
The season starts again…
