Hollyhocks

Today I’ve moved some hollyhocks, grown from seed last summer.

They are a few inches tall, and buds have appeared so it’s the perfect time to move.

Roots are as deep as the top of the plant so it’s a good thing that the compost I bought is soft and pliable as I had to wiggle my hands in deep as if I was birthing a cow.

I’m moving these tulip bulbs and hollyhocks. I’ve saved some of the compost which I’ll mix in with the earth in situ
I’ve prepared this bed underneath some trees
While the roots soak
Water in well, morning and evening
