Seed starting for next spring

Seeds planted are Nanking Cherry and Evans Cherry. I was so pleased to get seeds from 3 sources of Nanking and 2 of Evans Cherry. Would have been nice to get a couple more from both but this is a good start. These plants will become part of a screening to find larger more tasteful fruit.

Where does the time go?

Well I finally want to add some notes and pictures to end the season! Last night the temperature was -5 Celsius so I think most things will be finished for this years growing. I have transplanted about 60 evergreens and deciduous tress in the last week so a lot of digging holes, emptying pots and digging trees to move.
All by hand so far. There are still about 16 larger spruce to move, 11 large green ash and some lilies to transplant but not sure if it will all get done! I have also set some Clematis seed to germinate in the basement and have planted seed of 3 sources of Nanking Cherry and 2 sources of Evans Cherry. Also have a few blossoms left to enjoy on Polish Spirit and Mdme. Julia Correvon clematises. New cuttings starting from Clematis seedlings in the basement too!
