Garden journal: Class of 2013 floating
Jun. 21st, 2013 11:09 amI floated the Class of 2013 in a container of water today. I'm kind of hoping I get fewer than 12 viable seedlings. I'd like to cull the collection, and this cross (supermarket selfed) isn't anything I'm wildly excited about.
EDITED TO ADD: I did a little planter maintenance out front. First I pruned the spent flower heads and some other branches from the Aunties' Rose, which I thought was just too big. Then I noticed that there was powdery mildew on the seedling apple. Off with its head -- I yanked it out. Rummaging in the planter full of dusty miller and swiss chard, I spied what I thought was a seedling locust tree. Out with you, I said, and realized that I was holding quite a wisteria seedling, with three leaf segments and a seed that was still encased in its seedpod. Ooops, says I, and I brought it in and potted it up. I may have my wisteria-to-go after all!
