“I fell in love with flora of all types, especially ferns. Loved the sparse structure and repetition of shape – almost fractal.”
Jack Dorsey

I’m still here and am immensely enjoying the results of last year’s efforts with my ferns. I’ve even managed to make a photo or two.

Glad to see they are doing well. I’ve moved a few ostrich ferns this week to a small berm in our yard to try to get them to start populating there. They seem to spread a lot, so with any hopes, I’ll also have a fern “hillside” in maybe 5-10 years. :)

I’m sure your ostrich ferns will do well. If you experience the kind of second-year growth I’m seeing, it will be much shorter than 5-10 years. Of course, having the ferns covered for much of the winter seems to have given them a fast start this spring. Have a good weekend, Mark!

I am glad you are still here and enjoying your efforts with the ferns. Seems to be something about watching the slow, deliberate process of nature that comforts us. And, maybe those ferns enjoy having you involved in their lives. And, if you’re so inclined keep posting images. Hope the best for your transplant, Mark!!
