Sis is coming down next week with the raised bed frames she built for me, and her trailer so that we can haul some topsoil with which to fill them.

Mystery plant! Was out poking around counting the emerging tips of Solomon Seal this past weekend, when I noticed something beginning to come up in front of them (and still not out enough for me know what it is.) Scratched my head on that one for awhile, then a vague memory arose of quickly planting some plant or other just before hard frost that I had held all season in a pot,and decided I needed to get it somewhere, anywhere, in the ground if it was going to survive the winter.

Well, it appears it did survive, and I'll be really curious to see what manner of beast it is!
