spot swap

I have never ever before transplanted outside in the middle of winter. But I did last week. There are four nicotiana still green in the pathetic planting bed at the end of the backyard, and I took the two raggedy slug-eaten ones out of pots on the porch, put them in the ground.

It's been a week and they're doing fine!

In their place I dug up a handful of mock strawberry from a muddy spot near the compost bin, and put these in the pots on the front porch. Need something green. I do like their leaves and would like them close to be admired...
