Tangled Branches: Cultivated
happenings in and around my zone 6b gardens in northern Virginia and in central Virginia

Weather: nice! 2 days in a row of 70+ degree temps.
Planting: Just received my order from Wayside Gardens today, and planted it immediately. I got 2 Aesculus parvifolia (Bottlebrush Buckeye), 6 Hellebore 'Pine Knot Strain', and 3 Gaultheria procumbens (Wintergreen).
Last Friday my order arrived from Musser Forests, but I didn't get around to planting that until Tuesday. From them, I got 5 Amelanchier canadensis, 5 Ostrya virginiana, 5 Nyssa sylvatica (these are all tiny seedlings), and 10 Rosebay rhododendrons. The lawn service sent around a notice saying that this is the year of the 17-year locusts, and it is not a good idea to plant trees and shrubs this spring. Oh well.....
