Finally, most every plant that needs to come out of the greenhouse for warm weather is on the patio or under the Douglas fir tree. During the process of cleaning up the plants and potting some of them on they mostly end up looking pretty tattered or small. I wanted to get a “before” photo of them so when they grow and reach their summer potential we can really see the contrast. Also, I need to convince myself that my cruel pruning was for the plants’ own good.
We should have some interesting flowers and foliage from all these pots–plants like Monarda citriodora, Setcreasea pallida, five kinds of begonias, and more.
