Gloom City

Today is gloomy, windy, and chilly! :( About 56 degrees or so... which is no fun to be in, but it's probably very good for all the seedlings I just transplanted, especially with yesterday's rain!

Planted Hibiscus coccineus from 5/9 dish in area in back with Hibiscuses and in Pond Area.

Noticed recently that Jeffersonia diphylla was losing some of its bottom leaves - decided to dig it up today to make sure it wasn't getting bug (didn't want a repeat of what happened with Justicia americana!) - found a slug at the base, and I'm sure there were more previously! I decided to move it to an area, still in Woodland Area 1, that gets less water when it rains.

Added Orobanche uniflora to the Sand Garden. Hopefully it survives!

**Germination notes: Elephant's Foot and Consolida ajacis came up in 5/6 dish.

Moved dishes from 5/6 and 5/1 outside.
