plants you let live about

 

 I let one mullein self seed just because I like the old fashion history
it projects.  Got just one Russian Broad Leaf Comfey  as a reminder of
the chickens we had.  Could turn either into many via seed or root
cuttings.  Then again I got some hops I can't kill which might be just
one monster vine.  Have anything about you sentimental about?

  me?  no, i'm practical as much as
i can be, the management is more
sentimental and likes hollyhocks
and any volunteers which start in
the limestone.

  today i was shown a single white
poppy (amid the whole front yard
which is full of several kinds of red).
i will try to encourage more of them
for the next year.  :)  that is about as
sentimental as i get.

  unless you consider grapes.

  and tulips,

  and delphiniums,

  and rhubarb,

  and ...

  hold it, was this a trick question?  :)

 Yup a trick question designed to get me looking at my garden with the
eyes of others.  I like delphiniums but they don't like it here.  Love
rhubarb but have a sun shade problem. Tulips are treated like annuals
due to squirrels  same with caladiums.

Whenever poppy seedlings emerge in the veg beds (which they do with
regularuty,
loving to germinate in disturbed ground as they do) my wife
always says
(regardless of what crop they are competing with) "Can't we
just leave it to
grow".

One or two always make it ;)

  we have thousands here as
they love the crushed limestone
pathways.  Ma says that we
couldn't have planned it and
she loves it.  it is very dramatic
the whole front yard is now
covered with them.  we planted
them originally in the Red garden
and they've wandered since.

  finding the one white one
is amusing because for a change
it is in one of the White gardens
(mostly yarrow and daisies there
now).

 i do not like them as much
because they harbor
black spot (which has knocked
back some of the clematis
this year with all the rain).

  as it goes...  :)
