Sand Garden changes...

Today, was sunny, but pretty chilly with the wind. We took out the fence that was previously between the two areas of the sand garden. It is going to be converted into an acid-loving plants garden.



I noticed quite a few seeds coming up in the sand garden - including some that may be Spergularia rubra - but I'm still a little disappointed by what's come up, considering how many seeds I planted there. Hopefully, it's still just a little early.

**Germination notes: Lablab purpureus, Ipomoea lindheimeri, Mina lobata, Agrostemma githago, and Hibiscus cannabinus from planting on 5/1 sprouted.

Planted Collinsia parviflora and Mitella pentandra in Woodland Area 2; Mina lobata, Ipomoea hederacea, Ipomoea lindheimeri, Ipomoea 'Heavenly Blue' and Lablab purpureus in Vine Area.
Took a walk in front woods: put screening on 3 Sanguinaria canadensis and 5 Erythronium americanum seed pods.
