Weeds, I learned in Master Gardener training, are plants that grow where hey are not wanted. That was the case with this one; it popped up in my lawn and instead of pulling it out and throwing it away, I dug it up, cleaned it up a bit and put it in a small clay pot. Its leaves are a healthy green (they look like mint) and the flowers are a pale, pale blue. I don't think I'm going to form any particular attachment to this plant, but it looks nice enough to keep it until it's finished for the season.Saturday, August 1, 2009

One woman's weed is another's... So-called weeds can be simply lovely in their own right. Like you, I sometimes let them develop and see what they produce. Cheers!
So true; thanks for your comment!
