The Ivy is starting to look sick. I'll take a pic of it later when I go down there.

I had a little surprise too... the other part of the city garden directly across from us ---I had sprinkled some black eyed susan seeds there to see if they would take ---it is soooodry there...and I found them yesterday! tiny yet but doing okay!
I expected a failure there. So once established from my flats with the other seedlings...I think they WILL naturalize themselves.
(one never knows you know )

Having terrible chipmunk problems. I now have to put rocks around anything I plant...they dig them right up! And some are coming now into my seed flats as well...right up on the bench and digging around. I found several emptied! There is no food there. They did it right after I fertilized ..so maybe the fertilizer has a odor for them? The construction across the street along the river --the guys say when they turn on the machines chipmunks come streaming out of the hill --river bank. These must be them? ugh ugh!
