notes

We did get a bit of snow- and it promptly melted. Today I cut swiss chard for a frittata, and planted milkweed seed. Should have done that in fall, but I forgot I had the seed until now. Found it in the fridge. Scraped up some grass and mock strawberry with metal rake on the sunny slope where the swamp milkweed already are. I stuck some of the taller, common milkweed seeds in front of the swamp milkweed area, and put the shorter, organge milkweed seed in on the other side, fronting the gladiola patch. Just shoved them into the top surface of the damp cold soil, and sprinkled a bit of the raked-up grass and stuff on top. Have to wait months now to see if they germinate.
