| For the past several months, I have notice a strange plant growing out of the base of my bird feeder. My initial inclination is to cut it off, but I decided to let it grow to see what it is. In the past, this has been mixed. One year, I let something grow and it turns out to be some cardinal flowers planted last year, spreading itself out. Another year, it unfortunately turned out to be poke weed.
This time, it turned into a rather large golden rod. Now I am thinking that perhaps I should figure out how to grow more of it in that area. Paul |

| How true! I've never seen seeds for Kenilworth ivy for sale but love when one shows up in a pot! Last year a Talinum showed up in one of my pots and it's back this year, from what looked like a seedling. Apparently I have a Lady Banks rose growing along the fence that is too young to have been planted by the previous occupant and definitely on my side of the fence. Supposed to be a few years till it really starts to flower, but I'm patient. Berry briars - really hate those for 49 weeks of the year. Still waiting for a redbud to sprout at my Mom's in a spot where I can actually dig it up. Not a perennial but I love the okra plant that was smart enough to show up in my veggie patch instead of any of the other beds. |
