Late out of the gate planting Indigofera Suffruticosa

14 Jun

First, 2022 seeds are ready for purchase in my Etsy Shop! If it shows sold out, someone beat you to them. I am still cracking seed and will be restocking.

Earlier this month in Texas we had an extended spring which gave me time to clean out the February ice damage.

1/2 inch ice damage

Wouldn’t you know, we went out of town for a week and an unforecasted ice storm hit. I had not covered my plants as usual. Lesson learned. A few survived, but very few, this is why I warn folks who are north of the zone it might just be seasonal.

Now, I am planting out my potted seedlings and the Texas pre-heat just jumped to August temps. Needless to say the alarm has been set to “too damn early” and I’ve been setting out plants and mulching. With our drought prone area careful marking of drip irrigation and mulching is critical.

Now, with this temperature spike I also added some sun shade until the plants get acclimatized or the temps “drop” to the 90’s.

Placed for the mid-day sun.
