Soaked David Austin's Harlow Carr in a small basin since a larger and deeper bucket was not available. The roots were in water, but the bulb-ish part of the plant was not. Hopefully it will not be a problem. Planted it today according to directions, sans rose food, since I didn't have any available. Dug an approximately 18" square hole, 18" deep as the directions stated. Back filled with original soil and some compost and used Start to get the roots off to a healthy start. Top dressed the soil with compost and watered with 2 gallons of water. I planted it at about 5 or 6 pm after the hot noon sun was beginning to temper off. Hopefully there will be rain for the next two days so that the plant is not too stressed. It was difficult work and there was a lot of large stones in the soil, some of which I removed.

Also purchased three heathers (Erica darleyensis) as well as some Miracle-Gro rose food, a set of 10 Lily-of-the-Valley and a set of 3 pink bleeding hearts.
