Clematis

Lisa planted some of the new Lilac plants she got from the Arbor Day people. There are two in pots for Anne and the rest are going where the failed forsythia bushes were. Those forsythias have been out there for ten years and never have done well. We see giant ones in vacant lots covered with bright yellow blooms. They grow wild on roadsides and in the woods. You can see them from the road on hillsides a mile away. The ones in our yard maybe get a dozen small flowers some years. Other times, nothing. They had their chance, they're getting replaced. 

I dug the second and third holes. Lisa will plant them in the morning.

This one got planted today.

These are Anne's

Luna was out there too.

I only did one load then straightened up the compost pile.

I was down there emptying the blue barrel into the burn pile. No need to go back up the hill empty.

Lisa cleaned out around the clematis. This is the one we moved from the backyard next to the electric meter. Since the porch roof covers it we were afraid it would die under there. 

It's doing pretty good in its new place. It even has an early bloom.

The clematis under the porch came up even after I dug it up. It's bigger than the one out front.
