    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!.

    I've only bought this fern as bagged roots. Some never came up, and the ones that have look just ok. Based on my research I think our Pacific Northwest Winters are too mild for it.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
