Remaining transplants

Joey got Ivy down for her afternoon nap, and so I am taking advantage of the opportunity, to move the remaining moonflower seedlings into the front yard flowerbeds. These are the ones which were growing in plastic seedling pots.

I don’t think I’ll use the plastic pots again, because it’s a messier transplant, and some of the tiny (but LONG) roots get broken in the process.

Anyhow, they are all now out amongst the planted hydrangeas. I’m curious to see if they do as well as the ones which were moved out front from peat pellets… some of those are now up above the chickenwire (probably 2′ up), which is pretty cool. Even saw a couple that had curled around the fenceposts. Hopefully they will produce a flower or two before winter sets in and they die off.

Anyhow, I can check that off the list. The only indoor seedlings remaining are a sporadic crop of hummingbird vines (disappointing — maybe 6 out of almost a hundred sprouted) in peat pellets, and some herbs in the plastic trays. The herbs will stay inside, at least the peppermint will. The thyme may get moved in the spring. We’ll see.
