Some of the Moved Plants in the Meditation Garden (continued) 4.16.22

The Itoh peonies survived their move and are growing. There are a few flower buds. It wouldn't surprise me if those don't develop. It was a traumatic move for them. And for my back.

The Camassia bunches are all sending out lots of flower buds.

All of the lavenders survived their move and are growing.

That mostly leaves the perennials I started from seeds. More on those another time. Most of them are growing but it would not surprise me if thecneed another year before they reach blooming size.

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.
