As I was perusing my local discount garden center, just past the solar lighting, I discovered a section of various bare root and bulb plants. Normally I would just continue walking however, they had a significant selection of ferns. As a vast majority of my lawn is engulfed in thirty year old trees I am always on the look out for shade loving plants-ferns at the top of my list. Painted, Lady, Cinnamon and the mother of all ferns, the Ostrich. How could I pass up four Ostrich fern plants for five dollars? The only other bare root plant that I tried with zero success was a pricey butterfly plant (not bush) from a reputable catalog-how could I go wrong. So I've potted them up to monitor their growth before putting them in the ground. FYI there were only three in the package but who's counting.
