New Sumac and Oars

8-7-06 VERMONT: The day started with an intense, short rain storm that dumped 0.20 inches in about an hour. The rain was followed by hot humid and sticky air. I bought and planted two more of the Bouncing Bette and two Rhus typhina ‘bailtiger’, staghorn sumac and put them in the spot where the wentworth viburnum died.

I also changed the oars in the rowboat. I had bought a pair last year at auction for a couple bucks anticipating that they would be needed soon. It was a job sorting through all the available locks to make a fit. A bit of weeding and pruning and the day is over.

i apologize to all the poop fans about not detailing the amount of aged sheep, ox and horse poop I added to the planting mix.
