Working my way through #covid19 Yep I was fully #vaxxed got it anyway. And it wasn't the least bit mild. 3 days of fever over #102. Today 5th just feels like a chest cold. But as any good #gardener would when expecting a week of rain. And having sprouting bulbs arrive monday. I went out and planted over 200 #bulbs on my hands and knees. Mixed #crocus , #iris reticulata Harmony, grape #hyacinth, PurpIe Emperor #allium , and #snowflakes. Still to plant are blue shades #anemone blanda and a few species tulips.

And also two colors of bachelor button seeds.

I note grass and #lupines coming up in the #fieldofdreams #wildlowermeadow #gardening #GardeningMastodon @gardening

I don't have an pictures from today but here's a recent sunrise.

Once upon a time, many folks told me that #lupines can't be #propagated by cuttings because they're very sensitive.

I decided to challenge that with #PlantPropagation experiments. I tried to propagate lupine cuttings in water, with rooting powder, with raw aloe vera gel & with raw honey & cinnamon. This is a successful new plant from honey/cinnamon rooting! I did it!

I'm so happy about this🥰

“In the deep spring when the grass was green on fields and foothills, when the lupines and poppies made a splendid blue and gold earth, when the great trees awakened in yellow-green young leaves, then there was no more lovely place in the world.
― John Steinbeck, The Wayward Bus
