This is the first sunday i've actually been able to get out and actually do something in the yard. out there for about 3 hours and i still have to rake up some leaves for the compost pile.

| Planted Balsam |
 |
| leftover balsam |
Planted much of the flat i had of the Balsam. I didn't look before i transplanted them and they actually require evening shade, which this bed does NOT get... woops. they say they're a heat resistant variety so maybe they'll still be ok. I'm aware of how pitiful the rose bushes look. the one in the container is my first propagation ever from a cutting and it seems to be just fine. the ones in the ground to the sides are aromatherapy roses that are just hating life and the one in the center of them is the moondance that is such a little trooper. And why are the sticks in the ground you ask? Dog deterrants. they just love to lay in that bed. i think they like the cushy leaves i use for mulch :(

| Verbascum roots |

| Verbascum in SIP planter |
This is the Verbascum that got planted in the SIP container. The roots are growing out of control. I figured it was about time to put that baby in the ground. I thought there was a rock or something in the container when i finally realized that no, it was
root. How crazy is that big fatty root system?
I was very pleased to see it was finally putting out some sort of flower stalk. There's two that got planted too close in this one so he's sideways atm, but i'm sure he'll straighten up as he gets a little bigger.

| New home for the Verbascum |

| Verbascum shoot |
Put them in the ground. The double planting on the right and his retarded cousin on the left...

| magnolia soulangiana first blooms! |
I was so scared that my little japanese magnolia was a goner but it's back! The crocus and ranaculus i planted around it are coming up as well.
