Greetings,
This past week was spent potting 4" to gallon & making new plants. Hundreds of new plants! I made about four trays of cuttings & just seeded out one flat. The cuttings included Rosemary, Turks Cap, Patrick's Abutilon, Golden Pineapple Sage, Russelia coccinea, spotted tradescantia, Dwarf Lionstail, Shrubby Boneset, Mexican Mint Marigold, Chitalpa & several more I'm sure. The one flat consisted of Aristolochia fimbriata & some very old Lemon Rose Mallow seeds. I will be shocked if either of them germinate. Sunday I ordered some fall seeds. Lettuce, a red Nicotiana, Brussel Sprouts, Parsely, Cilantro, Swiss Chard & Dill. I suppose it is a good start. I'm sure I'll have some tricks up my sleve for fall, but let me know if you have a request. The only significant thing that happened Moday was fertilizer & pyrethrin day. Tuesday was spent moving about 200 one gallon drought tolerant plants to [THE NEW LOCATION]!!!!!!!!!!! The plants included Our native blazing star Liatris, Asparagus, seedling Chinqapin Oak trees, Yellow Bulbine, Pink Rain Lily (Z. grandiflora), Agave (tequilliana, coloradata, weberi & parryi v. truncata), the lovely Texas Blue Grass! & my personal favorite that I can not wait to distribute abundantly around south Louisiana Hippeastrum puniceum (a very elegant simple & small amaryllis).
Quick plant list for Thursdays market.
