Its time for da update. I noticed a third sealed tube in my mason bee nest. Probably the last.
My swamp milkweed seedlings. I'll keep a few at home in pots and plant the rest at my lakeside cabin.
Poke milkweeds. I had more, but planted them while they were too small and kept getting ravaged by chipmunks, so i repotted them. The third and fourth smaller pots are climbing milkweed.
Ive strategically planted four goldenrods around the yard. Heres one
and two
My American bittersweet pair survived the winter, and i will be moving them tomarrow since i figured which is male and female.
Bonus mt laural.
One out of three purple milkweeds. This ones the healthiest. Notice the homemade critter cage i made after one was probably killed after something dug it up. The last is doing meh.
I got four nodding onions. I see a flower head poking up!
My wild dockmackie (maple-leafed viburnum)
A pair of summer grapes.
Last summer i pulled out a lot of lilly of the valley and creeping euonymus. In its place i put wild geraniums, jack in the pulpits, and two spicebushes. The orange flags mark where i planted the jacks.
Spicebush close up.
Four black huckleberry bushes. Im hoping they'll grow where nothing else will.
I planted a whole bunch of winterberry, but its not doing well. I should have put it in last fall instead.
Winterberry.
finally, i got 6 common milkweeds planted down by the road where its just dirt. And three butterflyweed plants i'll put in with them, as soon as they come.
And HUGE
