Elephant Garlic (rescued from our former property)
Arugula

Everything I started from seed was kept in my mini-greenhouse until they had sprouted and were big enough for transplant after the weather improved.

As for the garden proper and potted plants, we rescued some things from our former property, which has been demolished. We rescued some elephant garlic, Japanese iris, peony, tulips, crocus, hyacinth, and a rose (we hope it’s the Joseph’s Coat rose).

Some of the garden plants were started from seed in biodegradable pots in the mini-greenhouse for direct transplant. Some were from starts purchased at Bi-Mart, the Fred Meyer Garden Center and Terra Gardens. The rest were direct-sown into the soil.

More about the potted plants, mini-greenhouse and the rest of our little yard in Part Seven.
