planted my new natives promptly, yay, me
11 April Sunday
Very pleasant day at RbR. mostly cloudy most of the day. Pleasantly cool morning, warmer (low 70s) in midday and humid, cooler and nice at evening.
Eddie and Stephen mowed almost all of north pasture. SW was too wet, and they missed the lane in the NE; rest is pretty good, especially for just 4 hours.
17 of the 18 potatoes are up, and onions are several inches tall.
I planted the standing-cypresses, the pink evening primroses, and the Missouri primrose (sundrop) in the fencerow just north of the ceniza. Hope they all take hold and reproduce. a propos of reproduction, I found a volunteer bluebonnet outside the fence. Don’t know from whence it springs,but it’s welcome.
Cardinals have been bathing in the birdbath, two of each sex, or maybe one each twice. Third female sat on the edge and thought about it, but flew away.
Both the sages, lyreleaf and cedar, that I got yesterday, seem to want some shade, as does the columbine. So they will go in the eave bed with the mints.
After the guys left, I fired up the string trimmer-mower and went around the veg patch and outside the kitchen back door. Harder than it looks. Used small 0.65 string -- tied 3 lengths together in the middle and inserted them as one. Seemed to work.
