Arum Lily in a Bin Bag
385 Views |
Some plants are hard to kill I know but when I admired the huge Arum Lily at my little cousins new front door, I didn’t expect them to dig it up and send it home with me. Being non gardening types I think they were happy to uproot. I don’t understand this at all. It looked beautiful where it was but they feared it might stimulate hay fever… huh? I didn’t argue, although I would have been happier if it hadn’t been hacked out of the ground quite so enthusiastically. Now I have a bin bag full of ready split stems on somewhat butchered roots which I hope will not die if I pot them up individually. Too late home tonight to do anything about it so I hope it can make do with the bin liner till tomorrow when I get a chance to go lilypot hunting. I had no plans to start a container garden here but it looks like it’s on it’s way…

Oh my!
My brother does that…often, gives away something imagining I need it, almost guilt driven and seemingly transferred from something else I needed that he couldn’t help with, like a hand lifting something at another time. The things he gives I don’t want or need in the least! It’s like he’s doing it to feel better…so…I take it and shut up.
Welcome to gardening, like it or not!
I’ve been thinking of taking a cutting off the peach tree to give to my aunt Mary. I know she’d appreciate it though. I suppose I’d better keep an eye out for Root-tone, a rooting hormone when next I go to the store.
My rose bush is half dead. I haven’t made time to do much, although I collected 24 40-gallon bags of pine needles. Now they are saying that the collective won’t burn them until mid-July!
I suppose I ought to water the poor, neglected thing.
Potash is supposedly good for roses. All that wood you burn could have been doing some other good than heat.
