Wanting to bring a bit of home with me, I dug up a few perennials from my yard. I wrapped them up in wet newspaper, put them in buckets, and soaked them well. Even though I didn't plant them until 5 days after digging, they were still perky. I had hopes. The spring wildflower bulbs I will need to wait to see success. However, a plantain lily and Solomon's Seal were enjoying their new spots. Going into the plantings I knew it was an experiment. There are lists of what deer eat and what they don't eat. I needed to find out myself. They eat plantain lilies (lasted 3 days before eaten). They do not eat Solomon's Seal (yet).
This is the time of year that little orange ladybugs want to get into your house before winter...as in waiting by the door for you to open it. We have learned to brush them away before entering. Some fast fliers have gotten by us and are on the inside of the windows and screens since we have the windows open (another beautiful day). I have learned a zoological lesson that ladybugs do not swim.
