I planted more lilies in the bulb bed (yeah...it needs more because if some is good, more is better, right?) Then we went and picked up our Cornus kousa "Wolf Eyes" that we bought last week. While there were there DH had a "moment" with an Eleanor McCown camellia who stole his heart (the hussy!) and she came home with us. Not to be outdone, I fell for a Kaleidescope abelia which also moved into the ghetto. Then I weeded for a bit then looked at the potager and debated whether or not to sow seeds and plant seedlings and decided against it then weeded some more, then dug up some native Tolmiea Menziesii (maybe? see attached and feel free to offer suggestions) and potted some and moved some, then weeded some more and dug up some Nootka rose and snowberry, then dug in the pots that are holding some more lilies and gloriosa and habeneria and dichelostemma and crocosmia to see if they are doing anything and they are (except the crocosmia) so that is good because someday there will be flowers, lots of flowers on them. Then my mom wanted us to go play bingo with her tonight so we did that, and just got home. We arrived to a chorus of frog song ~ glorious and loud ~ if it were summer we'd have to close the windows to sleep because they are such a raucous bunch! Anyway...now I'm tired and going to bed. Tomorrow I plant the potager and I triple dog dare the weather gods to harm my little green children! I left calendula seedlings out for the past two weeks and they are strong and doing well, as are a few lavender seedlings I started, so they will be fine. *phew* long and glorious day!
