the lilies that are up look fantastic, thick stemmed, growing well.I even found a grouping under the cherry tree I thought I had dug up and moved! growing among the hostas, phlox and violets, they look so nice!
but only about half of them came up in the main bed..I have all sorts-for smell, for color......this is really quite a blow.
I have to figure voles ate them ( voles eat plants moles eat insects) I am a little non plussed trying to figure out what to do about it. I hate the idea of sprays; chicken wire couldn't keep such wee things out., and it WAS a hard winter;guess they were hungry ( we've never had anything like this before)
I am enjoying watching the new permaculture area around the apples take off. the currants and siberian pea bushes look good. no flowers/herbs are up yet. but they will arrive in their own time! Apples seem happy (second year) many leaves. I don;t care if they bloom as we need them to grow another year before we can harvest.
so it goes, the good, the bad.
