Now to get them filled with soil for the Cardinal climber vine's new home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Young Cardinal climber vine from seed started on April 11. Ready to be moved out in the sun in the planter block......... The seeds I picked up in 2007 from Wal-Mart Gardens. The set me back ninety seven cents for the package.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Faithful garden assistant is ready to get started. She is on watch for any bugs or lizards that might jump out while I am digging.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have learned that it is best to dig about 5 inches further under the block holes into the ground. That way the plants roots will have plenty of uncompacted soil to grow down into. Then fill the block up with soil and you are ready to add the plant.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cardinal Climber plants go in and are soaked in with water.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since these plants are by the two 4x4 posts of my bird feeder I have to cover them with some old chicken wire for protection. The doves knock bird food onto the ground then trample the young plants otherwise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the young plants just have to survive the birds, dogs and wind until they can grow big enough to hold there own. --- --- sanddune---
