Golden currants
A week or so ago, I moved two golden currants (Ribes aureum var. gracillimum).
Originally, they were in the middle of the shady part of my vegetable garden where I grow kale and other greens. Their leaves were turning yellow and they looked unhappy. They are native plants, and they don’t like to be watered regularly the way that vegetables do. So I moved them to the little strip of earth between the house and the driveway, where I don’t water. I gave them a good drenching to help get their roots established, and then I left them alone. At first, I though the move killed them. But…
…they started growing new leaves.
