Tangled Branches: Cultivated
happenings in and around my zone 6b gardens in northern Virginia and in central Virginia
Tuesday, July 01, 2003
Weather: starting to get a bit cloudy, but was otherwise a nice day today - cooler and less humid than yesterday; we had thunderstorms overnight but not much rain.
Planting: finished another lasagna bed in the woods and planted the last of the plants I ordered in the spring from Plant Delights Nursery - Rohdea japonica, Heucherella 'Sunspot', Selaginella moellendorffii, Carex morrowii 'Ice Dance' - and a few seedlings (Torenia 'Clown Burgundy' and Coleus 'Pineapple Wizard'. Also planted the last of the Nicotiana 'Domino Antique Shades' seedlings in an unfinished lasagna bed in back.
Chores: topped off the mulch on some of the lasagna beds I made in the spring. Started to cut down/pull off some of the dying daffodil foliage.
Wildlife: saw a big red-bellied woodpecker on the Nuttery feeder just a few minutes ago. Saw a black swallowtail butterfly on the Asclepias tuberosa (so-called butterfly weed) - the butterflies around here don't seem much interested in it. Just now there is a black swallowtail butterfly on the Black Knight buddleia butterfly bush.
