The Joslin Garden—A Potting Up Party—April 8, 2021

Everyone loves a party, right? I know I do, but I had to miss today’s party. Still recovering, and on light duty from last week’s fall. I still managed to be helpful by working on the plant sale spreadsheet so Chris, our Director, can make labels, and of course, writing this weekly post!

Volunteer Ailene potting up Ostrich Ferns, Matteuccia struthiopteris This is one of my favorite plants. Did you know ostrich fern fiddleheads are edible? Yummy sautéed in a little butter.

I missed working with my buddies in the garden today! This was the first Thursday I missed. So sad. Nell sent me these pictures, but where is Nell?
