    Gardener's Log

    03/2017: Planted next to/behind blue hostas. I purchased these new ones bagged from Sky Nursery. We'll see how they fare. I planted them in the new bed at the northwest corner of the dirt room, which is partly underneath the eave. If they do come up, I might need to move them, as they need consistently moist soil.

    04/2017: Bought a few more roots to try again in a new patch out front of the dirt room NW window. One is coming up so far, I may have buried the others too deeply!.
