    I’m working my way through potting up a few hundred native shrubs, and planning to plant some of the smaller ones.

      Summer plantings can be a little tougher on things, especially if yours are hot or dry. Still, a good little rhyme to remember is that “first they grow roots, then the growth shoots”. If you’re concerned, though, you can always do a scratch test on an outermost branch to make sure there’s still green just below the bark.

        Since it’s her first winter I’m letting it wake up. I was pretty good about watering over the fall, so I’m hopeful.
