Storming again until Tuesday. Ran outside in between and in the greenhouse the 2nd sets of cosmos I planted are already sprouting like gang busters. The last ones did too. The 1st 4 plants that came up were in shades of pink and the new ones are shades of blue and white and a mix of yellows are coming up now. They have been the stars of the greenhouse this year, but the new zinnia sprouts love it in there and are growing huge very quickly. New sprouts today of crasapedia, a cool small yellow globe flower (excited about these) as well. No sign of life yet in the entire flat of creeping thyme…
Around the garden, some new bulbs popping, can’t remember what they are (fun mystery), one of the new bare root Papavers aka Oriental Poppy that I planted early this week is rooted in quickly and responding with leaves already. Also 2 of my Lily Trees (supposed to get up to 6 feet tall) are sprouting and what I believe are 2 dahlias are coming up. Little thin green onions are in the veggie patch, so thin they look like grass and sweet peas are starting to form the little curly tendrils that will grab onto the trellis… slowly but surely it’s coming alive out there. Except the new Gardenia bush, despite the epsoms and iron I gave it, still hates me.
