one, two, tie my shoe, three four, plant some more

With annathepiper's invaluable help, I have now planted the two plants I got at Molbak's and which were in my backpack being taken home on the day of the accident. They sat in the backpack - sealed! - for two weeks before anybody thought to see what was in my backpack, so I was amazed they were still alive. One looks like it's in good shape, the other - well, not so much. It's the one that needs full sun and it got no light for two weeks. But I can hope.

I am now very tired. But those little bastards are now planted. Take that, fate! Hopefully at least one of them will make it.

I also weeded out a tiny amount of rogue blackberries, horsetail, and bindweed. But that wasn't hard.

But I *like* blackberries! (Yes, I know they're a bane to gardeners.)

In Cascadia, they're, um, what's the plant... oh yeah. Kudzu. With vicious thorns. It grows about that fast, takes over that completely, and can really fuck you up when you try to remove it.

I used to have a dog (Border Collie mix) who would eat blackberries off the vines. ;-)

Oh, the berries are very tasty! Just not worth the pain.
