week of 4/4/09

some ? maybe lavendar? seedlings in one of the pots by the back entry - and maybe? a hyssop, too - in another pot.

some tiny unknown seedlings ? maybe snapdragons? form last years annuals by the itea and a few more in another place in that same bed.

(nuh-uh. no way were these snap dragons. Garlic mustard rears it head - again!)

echanachia is starting to pop up.
noticed that jewel weed seedlings are about
also notice 2 ? more of the ? mimulus - by the joe pye/milk weed area
tiny circea seedlings
in addition to the geranium by the lindera- I also noticed some across the way (viburnum)
and some of the dicentra - both by the sacred viburnum and the cherry - this makes me happy - I didn't think I would see those this year.

spotted some of the solomons seal peeking thru by the cedars yesterday - and if you look real closely you can see one starting to poke thru where they were transplanted last year (right side of "water feature") - time will tell if the "false" solomons seal bareroots come thru in the same area.

some small sedlings in the front planting - not sure if thats hepatica or something else

and BEHOLD was that some bloodroot coming up too - JOY! I noticed three in the front planting, and another one in back by the cherry.

no sign of the jacks or the asarum canadense yet.

it seems that some of the bare roots I gave up on last year did indeed make it - I'm curious to see how many truly do.

I really must get my locations set for the incoming easywildflower order of plants and the bareroot shrubbery from coldspringfarm - I have less tha two weeks for that and want to figure out where everything will go and have ot prepped before they arrive.
I think early may the ionexchange stuff will come- and by that time I'm hoping many of my winter sown goodies can be x planted.
4/7
" I am juglone tolerent"
on moving shoe boxes to shade
I think next wek - or this weekend. I think they need the warmth. actually,
as soon as the (dreaded) maples leaf out they'll certainly b e in shade - but closer to the back door will help with ease of watering. next few days - in the thirtys at night.

***wishes - cut down trees back ( leave walnuts) (and - maple in yew?- and southeast corner)
two maples (+ - by te walkway to back)

****wishes- software (use on mac upstairs- ) garden software - or use appleworK? - software w/adding personal o=pics?

week of 4/8 popping up:
Eurybia divaricata /Aster divaricatus (White Wood Aster)

one of the Dicentras (not sure maybe squirrel corn?) with some tiny Circaea lutetiana (Enchanter's-Nightshade)
Geranium ?maculatum with Impatiens capensis (jewelweed)
Stylophorum diphyllum (Celandine Poppy, Wood Poppy)
and of course plenty of viola

next:
Echinacea is popping up,
as is Virginia Knotweed aka Jumpseed - Polygonum virginianum (Tovara virginiana, Persicaria virginiana).
Fragaria virginiana (wild strawberry/white flowers) - not popping up exactly, it's evergreen ( and very aggresive) around here.


4/9 YIKES cold stream farm delivery came today - luckily, I made some holes, but not all.
after too long debating some of 'em, I ending up just putting them in the ground (save one smal xtral red twid - that went in a small pot for now) - they should be transplantable later -

The red twigs are 1- in with the vinca by the PI tree, and two more behind the rocks - behind the seat.
couldn't put them too close to the monstrous maple.
orig. one by water feature, but I ended up planting 2 more there for now.

the elderberries are close to the original - but to the left facing outside.- one by the crotch of the moss log, on higher uo on the sacred mound., and the fourth farther baclk - left corner sorta - facing out.
that one has two lindera companions back there.

the other two lindera, I put by the original.

nine barks are around the edges of the birdbath/stump/v creeper area.
one where the bayberry was. - they sorta circle around the area - last one is just to the right of the walnut - where the ferns were, and were the false solomons seal never came up -

mahonia - 4 to the right of front door (facing door) one in a bit of sum on the path side of that "planting area where the dead tree w ivy is.
another 2 on the other (left) side of the f door and a small x tra planted in the white pot out there - I'll have to transplant that eventually

I only received 5 of the 6 x mas ferns - they are currently living in front of the closest ninebark - until I figure wht to do with them.

I dn't think I was very prepared.

4/17
white throated sparrow encounter -
sitting on porch - original where occasional boss is. flew right passed me towards front door - perched on railing and just "hung out" for a bit. if I reached out my hand I'd be just short of touching it - very close.
I turned my head only and shared in the encounter.

week of 4/22:
circeae has grown just a little
solomons seal is certainly coming along in an assertive sort of way,
and my first sanguinaria (bloodroot) bloomed a day or two ago

I tried to get a photo, but they're all terribly out of focus.
gonna have to wait until they get a bit larger.
