Post #6699512

The weather is getting warmer and after 4 days in the garden, I am relieved that rain is forecasted for the next 3 days -- my body needs the break and the laundry is piling up. Yesterday, while preparing a hole to transplant a boxwood, I found the roots to one of the clematis I ordered from Chalk Hill's closing sale. The root mass was about a foot from the original site, 6-8 inches deep and laying almost sideways. Unfortunately, the shovel cut off some of the roots. I potted it up and am keeping my fingers crossed that this beauty makes it...

The light was good for taking photos late yesterday after the clouds moved in. My camera isn't the greatest, so a good shot always excites me.

HF Young - The plant stayed low this year. It's the second year, and going to be moved soon, but I wanted to see the blooms first.
