The brewery courtyard

In the courtyard of the brewery, where a lot of keg action takes place, there is this planter and also, not pictured, is a bench with planters on either side. It is super shady down here, so I was able to plant lots of really great woodland species last year. In the center is a Japanese Maple, Acer shirasawanum f. aureum. It was covered with aphids so we sprayed it, and I have a package of Lady bugs in our refrigerator to let loose in a couple of weeks...

Showing here is cimicifuga racemosa "brunette", Hakonechloa macra 'Aurea', Asarum europeum... and a huge leafed guy I am spacing on the name of right now (not gunnera). At the base of the tree is polygonatum humile, a dwarf variety (excellent plant) just poking out...

Adiantum pedatum, Maidenhair fern, which I LOVE, unfurling.


SEEDLING UPDATE:
I gave a light feeding with Foxfarm's "Grow Big" liquid food. I love this company! Bob picked us up some copies of the keys to our community garden, so we're going to go check out our plot!
