Wolfs Bane

Planted two pots of Wolf’s Bane (aconitum napellus) on January 13. Let’s see if they feel like growing, keep your fingers crossed.

Check the dahlias in storage

Most of them (knock on wood) looked just fine but one thing is sure, the bigger they are the easier they are to store. Some of the smallest one, the ones I sewed last season, I doubt they will make it through the winter. This was the first time I check on them.

Arabian Night: 4 (all very nice)
Fantasia: 1 (very questionable due to size)
Unknown: 7 (five questionable)
Children of Oxford: (1 fine, 1 okay, 5 small and will most likely not make it)
Tomas A Edison: 2 (both looking nice)
Le Baron: 1(Nice)
My Love: 1 (ok) (There might be two, I put the one I think is a “My Love” in the same box and it looked nice too)
Lucky number seven: 1 (Nice)

I’m also trying to storage a small pot with tall verbena, looking questionable, gave them a little spray of water…
