What a day! We went
to Garden in the Woods to get the shrubs that we needed for the garden from the
Native Plant Trust. They were out of some
of the shrubs we wanted. We did get the
NJ Tea bushes, but the others they didn’t have.
We asked for some assistance and they suggested a Viburnum that wasn’t
one of the ones we had researched. When
we got home we found that the 2 we got grow to be much larger than the ones
that we wanted (8-12’ instead for 3-5’).
When we got home we unloaded the shrubs and gave them a good drink as
they were very dry. We took a break and
then decided to lay out the plants where
we wanted them so we could plant them in the morning. We had 2 Swallowtail Butterflies swooping
around the plants before we were finished.
After dinner, we wanted to get the plants in the ground so went out and
with the help of our daughter planted all the plants. The last 15 or so we planted by flashlight! Then we watered them in before we went to
bed.
