I finally got a chance this beautiful Sunday afternoon to plant the lilac start that the River Runner delivered from the Master Gardener’s collection a couple weeks ago.
The iFarmer and I plopped it into the ground, while I moved some of the bulbs…first carelessly, then more carefully as we went.
The iFarmer asked me when it was all over if I had a problem with the fact that I was muddy and my nails were caked with dirt. The farmgirl in me has no problem getting dirty…but, I would love a manicure this week.
I also planted some of the Master Gardener’s chives and finally got those pussy willows into some water. I’ll need some instruction on what to do after they root. [BTW…Master Gardener…if you see that I’ve done something wrong with the start…please comment or shoot me an email.]
