I did a lot of work in the garden today and only managed to knock off two seed pods and no blooms! One seed pod was small so I tossed it, but this seed pod is pretty good sized...

I have no way of knowing when this pod was set since my kids crashed the computer where I was keeping that data. If I had to guess I would say it's about a month old. Is there anything I can do to keep it viable?

On to seedlings...I decided to plant my remaining 10 seedlings in the bed with my big plants, close to the newly planted cultivars so the seedlings won't be too crowded. They look so small and fragile though and now I'm worried I made the wrong choice. But they weren't getting anywhere in the pots I had them in. What do you guys think?

The rest of my day has been a bit crazy. In between morning and afternoon thunderstorms, I had to pot up or transplant 8 plants to make room for the new ones, plant the 8 remaining new plants (I managed to get 4 planted a couple nights ago), re-set the drip lines I had to move to put in the new plants, then mulch everything. I am trying to get to where I only have one clump of each cultivar, so everything I took out or moved were doubles. I'm pretty happy with the results though...

In the middle of all that craziness, two great things showed up in the mail. One is my diploma for my Masters degree, and the other was my new laptop which I am going to go set up now so that I no longer have to make posts from my tiny phone Hurray!
