overcast

before a day of rain, perfect to do some transplanting. I went and dug up the hellebore seedlings. This time put them in a prominent spot, where (hopefully) I won't forget to tend to them.

They're along my front bed, under the shade of euonymus and boxwood.

Very small now and hardly noticeable, but the idea is when they grow up, will drape nicely over the stone edging, and the flowers will be visible on the slightly raised level, before the peonies reach their height for the season.

While I was out there noticed the little sprig of ivy has grown a lot since last year. And that tiny bit of green on the center upper edge of the photo, that's one of the hellebore seedlings. That's how small they are!

Three smallest hellebores went into a pot on the deck. As backup. Maybe they'll do better if I raise them in pots a year or two before planting elsewhere in the yard.

Found the columbine emerging! I wanted to dig up and move this one to the front bed also, but ran out of time (had to go in and make dinner)

Wait for another cloudy day
