Mixed Campanulas\u2013<\/strong>there are about a dozen or more of these, too.\u00a0 They appear to be smaller, trailing types, as opposed to the tall uprights, like lactiflora and persicifolia.\u00a0 It will be fun to see what they are\u2013these will end up in the orchard garden, as well.<\/p>\n Abutilon vitifolium \u201cSuntense\u201d \u2014<\/strong>these germinated sporadically over time, and in fact several seedlings have just come up, so I left them in the seed pot.\u00a0 I was able to transplant a dozen of the larger seedlings.\u00a0 I\u2019ll keep a few in pots, likely, and sell the others at the plant sale here in September.<\/p>\n Myosotis scorpioides\u2013<\/strong>I think the starting mix was too sandy for these seeds, but they did come up over time and I ended up with about 15 tiny seedlings to pot on.\u00a0 I put them in a more moisture retentive mix, so hopefully they\u2019ll gain some ground before being set out in the orchard garden.<\/p>\n Alpine strawberries\u2013<\/strong>Interestingly, many more of the yellow type came up than the red.\u00a0 I potted on over 20 of the yellow, but left the red in their seed pot to grow on a bit more.\u00a0 I counted about a dozen of the red.\u00a0 These will go in the orchard garden, too.<\/p>\n Mixed dianthus\u2013<\/strong>I transplanted nine of these\u2013they are destined for the orchard garden, too.\u00a0 I may need to get more seeds, though, as nine won\u2019t do the job considering how much ground I need to cover!<\/p>\n Argemone albiflora\u2013<\/strong>three of these appear to have survived my tray-dropping accident from a while back.\u00a0 They looks so much like California poppies that I\u2019m a bit suspicious;\u00a0 we\u2019ll see what they end up being.<\/p>\n Oenothera pallida<\/strong>\u2013I transplanted at least two dozen of these.\u00a0 They were smallish, but seem fine and had good roots.\u00a0 Some will go in the orchard garden, some will be sold and some are destined for our friend Mike, who winters in Arizona where I discovered these beautiful plants growing wild and blooming in the dessert.<\/p>\n Mixed lathyrus\u2013<\/strong>there were 14 of these seedlings that I potted on, and their roots were pretty tangled.\u00a0 Hopefully, they will recover and grow well.\u00a0 Only two of them appear to be vines and the rest appear to be bushy perennials.<\/p>\n Some of the transplants above.\u00a0 The abutilons are to the right, the myositis are in the middle, with campanulas in the back and the red strawberries to the left crowded a bit in the six-pack.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today was a perfect spring day for transplanting.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I\u00a0found the time for this project\u00a0much later than was ideal.\u00a0 I\u00a0suspect the plants will recover and grow on nicely, anyway\u2013I could almost hear them sighing with relief as I moved them to better potting mix and bigger pots.
