Some of the Moved Plants in the Meditation Garden. 4.16.22

Today I found two big clumps of Crocosmia "Lucifer" to move to the meditation garden. Also called the "deer park" or "beneficial insect garden. I had to dig very deeply and lift carefully to move the clumps. They were very heavy. I think I got most of them. They are pretty hardy, deer and rabbits dont touch them, they don't require watering during hot weather, and hummingbirds like them. Plus they have striking red flowers in mid summer.

Most of the other moved plants are settled in and growing. One exception is Rosemary. Most seem to be dying. This one seems OK so far.

Most of the rest seem settled in and growing nicely. The rhubarb divisions and horseradish divisions look promising. One has a too-close clump of Camassia that I might divide this summer.

Tulips and Daffodils. 4.16.22

There hasn't been much to show, due to bad weather. That spell seems to be ending and we are back to Spring. It's nice to have some color.

Snow! 4.11.22

Still falling hard at 7:20 am. Quite a snow fall. Quiet and peaceful now.

Somehow I don't think I'll be digging in the dirt this morning LOL.

That Poor Hen! 4.11.22

The green-ish eggs are duck eggs, which are like jumbo sized chicken eggs.

Growing Ginger From A Grocery Ginger Root. 4.10.22

During the Winter I cut a swelling bud from a grocery store ginger root. I planted it in seed starting medium.  Last week I transplanted it into potting soil.  Growth is pretty nice so far.  Each leaf is larger than the last.

I think this will always be in a container.  Ginger is tropical.  From what I read, we might have usable ginger by late fall.
