Rainy Days

What do YOU do on rainy days, when it drips and dribbles throughout the day?


It's a perfect time for harvesting and transplanting the seedlings that are coming up in less than ideal places. I've been finding and transplanting blue lobelia, closed gentian, joe pye weed, milkweed, boneset, black-eyed susans, ferns and wild geraniums that had self sown into my lawn. They come out so easily, without root damage or stem breakages while the ground is soft.


What a lovely harvest! And they're not stressed after their move in these damp conditions.


Brrrr, my toes and fingertips have been getting quite cold doing this task. But, it's always satisfying.
