We’re halfway through potting up all the plants we’ve overwintered, but are looking at temps below freezing for the next two nights. Today will be about getting covers ready for everything and setting up ambient warmth for several of our plants that are currently flowering. On my way home from a doctor’s appointment, I stopped to pick up a cutting of a curly willow (Salix matsudana) from a woman in town whose tree was damaged in a recent snow storm.

This one cutting was turned into a dozen after I got home. I’ve planted out three or four and the remaining sections were loosely bundled and placed into our five gallon bucket with several other varieties of willow we’re rooting in water.

What’s growing on with you all?

    Here’s hoping those seeds grow so well it reinvigorates you for the other stuff you’d like to tackle! I’m saddened that folks are disrespectful towards your gardens when they could instead be helped by them.

      It is disheartening especially since we do community work, but if people don’t want help it can be hard for everyone. I don’t have any ill will, just hopes that all can get the help they need and aren’t resorting to playing with other people’s things for fun lol
