Greg ...
Thank you for the encouragement. I feel like I am running a marathon and the next couple of days are going to be horrific.
This is a photo of one of the plants I purchased a while back ..
and didn't get potted up because I couldn't get the right materials for planting. I took this photo when I first brought it home.
This is the other impulse purchase
A gardening friend gave me this tiny plant in a two inch pot in early spring. It's one of the plants I potted up tonight. One of the babies fell off so I put more soil in the 2" pot and just put it on top. I really don't know if it will live.
I have been planning to plant this out since last summer, but last year simply was not a good gardening year for me due to health. I want to find a place to put it in the ground. Right now, the pot is sitting under the redbud tree.
This is another one that a friend gave me last year that hasn't found it's home and is sitting under the redbud tree.
AND ....
This is 'Dragon's Bud', which I also want to get into the ground somewhere and the pot is under the redbud tree.
Of course, I don't know how to plant them out. It's just that I am having to re-mulch the whole garden because my mulch has disappeared in all of this heat and is no longer retaining moisture in the soil. Of course, I can't buy mulch up here either and have to go get it and haul it back to the house.
If they are safe, I won't worry about them and will just keep running. If I need to do something to get them through this week, until I can find time to work with them, I'll carve out the time. I just don't know what I am doing with these plants.
Smiles,
Lyn
