17 May: potting up

Sunday, 17 May 2020

The best comes first today, with some guest photos from Steve and John’s bayside garden. We have been invited to visit for a social distancing tour, and we hope to go next week.

 

I spent the day potting up six tomato plants and a pepper. And I really do mean I spent the day, or at least a long afternoon and early evening, accomplishing nothing much but that.

I need to make a list of all my plant sale plants. Here are some…

In the background, Euonymus ‘Green Spire’ propagated from cuttings:

…and some alliums which I so hopefully potted up from purchased bulbs last fall, when the sale was supposed to be this weekend, since last year folks were so smitten with the alliums in my garden.

The alliums are backed with Persicaria bistorta ‘Superba’.

I must make a list.

Skooter found that a plastic flat made a perfect nap spot.

The garden in the evening…

Allan had mowed both the Norwood lawn and the Nora House lawn next door, including a path.

That back lawn is still too wet to mow without the mower sinking in! In Nora’s garden (Allan’s photos):

At seven PM, we planted cosmos in our volunteer garden at the Ilwaco post office. Sundays are the best people avoiding time there.
