The Shades of April
Generally plants that have been kept in pots
have roots that take that shape
move, transplant, repeat
plants belong out there in the garden,
the greatest depth being necessary in the lightest soil
the snows came late this year
the trees have bloomed twice
planting against a post
can be useful when the winds crash
stones can root the soil to the ground
and evergreens are shielded from the effects of the weather—
deep roots, like Tolkien said.
