Friday morning was very warm, 41F at 5AM when I went up to do my window. My helper friend was here and we headed out to dig up the plants and bulbs in the area they would be running the pipe through.
I had the map where I’d planted things and we only found 2: bluebells and an iris reticulate ‘Pixie’. All the chiondoxas had died, along with a couple hollyhocks. I left the one on the right, in hopes it survives the digging.
We took dirt for the pots from the area my helper friend had dug the raspberries out from, in the Small garden. I figured that was a good place to replant the pots with bulbs, as it was already dug up and not mulched.
I didn’t have any more scraps of hardware cloth, so the pots went in without it. But I did have the 1 remaining mulch bale to mulch them with.
The rain started shortly after we finished.
