Sculpin

We’re due for one heck of a hot day tomorrow, so today I went out, got scorched, and put in all the plants I’d bought at Sunday’s benefit plant sale: some “Cupani” heirloom sweet peas, a Geranium renardii, half a dozen double maroon hollyhocks, and some lady’s mantle.

The sweet peas may not all make it. They were oversized and rootbound, and they’re only going to get half a day of sun. But hey, they were super-cheap, it was for a good cause, and I love sweet peas. I’ve got them up against an old shoji screen lattice that I’m going to try to use as a trellis. With luck, they’ll give the patio some dappled shade from the afternoon sun.

Tomorrow I’ll wake up a little early and give all the plants a good dose of water to see them through the heat of the day.
