| chelle | On September 10, 2014 | Transplanted Mum hugel bed W of hydrangea and midway across, near top stepping logs. |
| chelle | From May 1, 2014 to July 1, 2014 | Plant Ended (Removed, Died, Discarded, etc) First transplants perished in swale garden hugel bed. Leaves yellowed, and plants disappeared. Second batch of several seedlings lived all summer long in a single 4" starter pot, so I'd imagine the first batch rotted in too-moist soil. |
