We divided a patch abt a month ago. And replanted most. I have abt 15-16 bulbs leftover?! And rhizomes? I know I can plant the bulbs still. The rhizomes began kicking out green leaves 🍃 so, I’ll try to plant them too. Hell, I guesI’ll plant them in the sunniest spots! (After my leaf vacuum’s here)

Well I just did a helter shelter willy nilly guerrilla hack job on ‘em — mostly in the upper tier of the back yard garden — we shall see. They’ll bloom in the spring if the squirrels don’t dig ‘em all up! 😄😆🙁😢😠

ha ha! I told Tom I need to find a place for the iris bulbs & he suggested the corner by the peach trees & I said I'd thought of that but it was a better place for the Joe Pye weed seeds that I need to get in the ground asap, so he's going to add a water circuit there & Bob's your uncle!

transplanted the Brussels sprouts & romaine lettuce seedlings today, hoed, cultivated & amended the soil in one of the raised beds; planted hyacinth bulbs; planted broccoli seeds in a kitchen starter.

I need to find a spot for the iris bulbs. Think, Betsy. Think!

Bath time for Little Jimmy 😻

A truly lovely tabby cat is licking one pretty paw as he relaxes on a comfy cushion under a window. A couple of cat toys are at his shoulder.

That’s a great idea, we are having cauliflower crust pizza on Thursday and I think I’ll slice those tomatoes - in lieu of a green salad - & serve them as you suggest!
