Scamperings

Today we biked over to Watertown for the Friends of Bees/Watertown Community Gardens bee-friendly plant swap. I came home with 15 pots tucked into various bike bags. (The trailer was unavailable for reasons, and elusiveat was very gracious in allowing me to take over most of her cargo capacity.)

To be planted into the shady areas of the bike path which often have standing water (I don't know if the ground there is moist or just compacted... worth a shot though):

- A big clump of blue flag iris
- Jewel weed

And in the shady but drier, open-woodland type areas:

- False Solomon's seal (2)
- Canada anemone

For the guerilla garden (which is sunny) and the sunnier parts of the neighbor's yard:

- Verbena hastata (4)
- New England aster
- Viola sororia (blue dooryard violet)
- Goldenrod
- Common milkweed
- Swamp sunflower
- Jerusalem artichoke (but I'll keep a few in a container for eating, too)

I also picked up some "ironweed" seeds, which might be Vernonia noveboracensis. I'll be sprinkling those in a couple of places.
