Leisure Time

Ah what a good idea. I'll join right in and write a random sampler also, probably not regularly though. Today I dug out the naughty little invasive plant that I paid money for a couple of years ago. Plant are like toys-you need to heed the instructions. If it says the toy is for a 4 year old its true. If a plant has a little hint that it may be invasive it means you are paying good money for a weed that you will be cussing in a few years. I dug the one out by the back faucet and the one in the front by the cut off fir tree. It makes me feel good and I don't know why I didn't dig it out along time ago except for the fact that I paid money for the plant. We are also continually pulling out a plant that I bought for the pond. It grew quite nicely in the pond and had zillions of tiny seed pods that also grew everywhere. It perhaps could be on the same scale as morning glory in the noxious weed catagory. Well that was my random sampler for today, of course I did go to a couple nurseries. I did have to fill in the spaces where I took the other plants out and of course I found several great plants. One is a yellow coneflower and another is a small rock garden type plant that smells like camphor. I love it, I have had it before but killed it. I planted it in a better place this time.
Those silly chickens are still not laying very many eggs and I found one of the chicks in the tomatoes eating away. We also found broken egg shells around the yard. What are you supposed to do with a dog that eats the chicken eggs and chickens that eat the tomatoes?
