No morels!

Today, took a walk at the railroad tracks looking for morels. Found only 1, and a small one! Something seems to be off about the season this year! As expected, did find some Lithospermum arvense plants; took a few to transplant. Planted one in Main Garden.

**Germination notes: Centaurea macrocephala, Borago officinalis, Borago officinalis alba and Hibiscus coccineus from 5/1 sprouted.

Also got 2 bales of peat moss for the bog and acid-area.

Took a walk at Mason - no morels there, either! Battled with a five or six ticks, but I won in the end. Put screening around 3 Erythronium americanum pods.

Finished the rest of fence at acid area also; pictures will follow.

Several new plants for today: 1 Pedicularis lanceolata, 2 Pedicularis canadensis, 2 Cardamine bulbosa, 1 Lythrum alatum, and 1 Ludwigia alternifolia - planted in Woodland Area 2; 2 plants (a male and a female) of Thalictrum dioicum - planted in Woodland Area 1.
