transplants

bj and i decided to take a few plants that are growing around here with us to the east coast and see if we can reestablish some of them there.

we dug up some comfrey from a large, hearty plant that was planted two years ago by bradley under one of the apple trees from some root stock.

we also extracted one of the many willow saplings that have sprung up over the past year behind this beautiful willow tree in a wet, swampy patch jump off the lawn area.

we'll have to figure out a way to batten them down for the big journey across. we'll also take some apple mint and maybe some lemon balm too. they are all sturdy species so hopefully they'll fare well and we will be enjoying them years down the road.
