Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
And rounded out with a trip to Cottage Garden Natives for ebony spleenwort (asplenium platyneuron), partridgeberry (mitchella repens), and one more mountain stonecrop (sedum ternatum) as a backup.
All that’s left to get is the Pennsylvania sedge.
Jackpot at Nearly Native Nursery. I drove there specifically for the piedmont rhododendron (rhododendron minus). Also picked up strawberry bush (euonymous americanus), green-and-gold (chrysogonum virginianum), smooth spiderwort (tradescantia ohiensis), and Jim even picked a bit of mountain stonecrop (sedum ternatum) for me.
My first time there. It’s a special place.
Welp, struck out on getting rue anemone (anemonella thalictroides) at the Woodlands Garden plant sale.
They had a synonym for it, thalactricum thalictroides, on the plant list, but actually had meadow rue (thalactricum pubescens).
Picked up 3 woodland asters (eurybia divaricata), a foamflower (tiarella cordifolia), and a great blue lobelia (lobelia siphilitica) at Swallowtail Center. And got a free bee balm (monarda bradburyana) thrown in!
Fall is around the corner, and it’s about time to execute on the planning and preparation I’ve already done to plant our side steps bed.
These are the plants I plan to purchase.
