I have a Baptisia that a friend gave me as a small rooted cutting almost 5 years ago.
I planted it on the E. corner of my Raised Bed. Best place I could find...

It's been growing--but no blooms yet. I may never see any anyway, as it only
gets the AM sun as it passes over left to right(E to W) over the raised bed.
I KNOW it does not get enough sun! But--that is where it lives.

The raise bed is 14-15" deep and it has a dbl. layer of weed block at the bottom
which may be all ripped up by now as I have dug the bed up a couple times.
I could attempt to dig it up--but where to re-plant it?

Option #1 would be in my small veggie bed by the shed. Full sun until 3PM.
The end of this bed--right behind my SEM--has an area that is usually unplanted.
It is big enough to do this. All it has in it is a long-lived clump of Chives a small Tomato,
and some parsley in front.
Hmmmmm...as I am writing this--it seems an OK place. May tackle it after I finish
planting all my containers and beds.

1--Here is the E. end of the raised bed. The Babtesia is all the way on the left.
The AM sun passes over left to right.

2--Closer up of the Baptisia as it is now--5 years after I planted it.

3--My glamorous Veggie bed. Only place for 3-and a couple of Tomatoes.
and a couple of cukes. They do OK here.
The end, all the way to the right, is the spot I am thinking about..

4--close-up of the area at the end. Looks messy right now--but I will dig everything up.

What do you all think? I would love to see the baptesia bloom...been waiting too long...
