Still cooler...

With an east wind, it was still pretty cool out today, but sunny; all in all, a nice day.

Took a walk at Mason - still no morels, 3 ticks, though!

**Germination notes: Hibiscus coccineus came up in wet dish from 5/9. Malvaviscus drummondii, Penstemon triflorus, Bergenia cordifolia, Knautia (white) and Geum triflorum in dish from 5/6.

Planted 2 Krigia biflora in Sand Area; 1 Podophyllum peltatum, 2 Erythronium americanum, and 1 Arisaema triphyllum in new woodland part of Sand Area; 1 Caltha palustris in Pond. Moved 2 Nuttalanthus canadensis plants from sand area behind garage to Sand Area. Decided to plant Veratrum californicum in Woodland Area 1, it seems it does get quite a bit more sun than I thought this time of year, so it should work well for it.

Planted seedlings of:
Borago officinalis alba, Hibiscus cannabinus and Agrostemma githago from 5/9 dish in Pond Area, and 1 Borago officinalis alba in Main Garden.

Ipomoea lindheimeri and Mina lobata from 5/9 dish in Vine Area.

Dodecatheon meadia and Castilleja coccinea from fridge dish in Sand Area.

Malvaviscus drummondii, Tinantia erecta, Commelina dianthifolia, Salvia penstemonoides, Emilia coccinea, Oenothera 'Innocence', Silene dioica, and Lychnis coronaria alba in Pond Area.

Hibiscus laevis from 5/6 dish in area with other Hibiscuses in back.

Lychnis coronaria from 5/6 dish in Main Garden.

Polemonium reptans and Limnanthes douglasii from 5/6 dish in Woodland Area 2.

Agastache scrophulariifolia, Galeopsis pubescens, Galeopsis ladanum, and Monarda bradburiana from 5/6 dish in Sand Area.

Took screening off of Scilla sibirica - doesn't look like it developed any seeds. :(

Lychnis flos-cuculi started blooming on the side of the house - grew from seed last year.
