the good earth

today i planted...well, everything:

  • lupine
  • poppies
  • iris
  • phlox
  • african daisies
  • bleeding hearts
  • lily-of-the-valley
  • broccoli
  • basil
  • sage
  • scallions
  • campanula
  • some cute little variegated foliage thingies
...and, boy, are my arms tired.

i took it as a good omen that some of my plants had wriggling stowaways — earthworms that traveled all the way from burlington in the pots of my new plants. they will add a much-needed jolt of genetic vigor to the current population here, i'm sure.
