orphan flower have been left at my door step before.And NEVER found out who left them Nice day lily. Even had name tags.I asked around- no one fessed up.
Marlingardener--It is actually Chocolate who has plants following her home. And I am still curious what they are! In my neck of the woods, Creeping Charlie is an indoor houseplant, but I can imagine in a wsrmer climate, it could be a real pest.
To quote our governor, "Oops!" Sorry I got the poster wrong. Creeping Charlie is a houseplant? Here it would come in the house and take over!
I have a seed issue...they seem to come home with me when ever I go somewhere. OH, the seeds I have....
Happened to me yesterday. Went to a favourite Nursery and before I know it bang went £50. Now I got to find somewhere to plant them. Look out garden, incoming!!!!1
Weeelll...true story! When I go and do the shopping for all the things that keep us alive and firing, I usually have a quick look around[a gander]in the store next door to the stupormarket which, surprise, surprise, happens to be a plant nursery.I feel it is really my responsibility as a keen gardener to check and make sure all the plants are in order and are being cared for properly, very simple really.If there are any that appear to be abused I feel the least I can do is to bring them home and put them in the shady area behind the car shed. After about 3-4 days...oh....! look what I found, shock horror these plants must have followed me home! How clever are they?And how cute too. So they must have followed me home...I havent been out for at least 3 days! So far this system has worked for me, and 'he' who lives here with me[and I love him dearly]even helps them into the shadehouse no questions asked. True story.
Thanks Chocolate! I am glad that he-who-lives-there is a willing helpmate! Yes, plants do tug at our heart strings. I can't imagine what my yard would look like if there was a nursery right next door to the food store...
My husband caused lots of plants to jump into my cart! The other day he handed me a hundred bucks & said " I know there's stuff you want for your garden" Whoopee! I went to heck with myself & ordered a ton of pepper plants ( husband's Jamaican so I plant habaneros, scotch bonnets; everything super-hot; even ordered a bhut jolokia this year). Been wanting another clematis so I ordered "Niobe"; ordered 2 rose bushes, a corkscrew vine, a tri-colored angel trumpet & a whole bunch of stuff. What a good hubby..... once in awhile!
If plants didn't jump into my cart there wouldn't be anything in my yard because I am certainly not the type to just buy and buy and buy plants. Ha,ha, ha, ha, ha....I crack myself up sometimes. Of course they jump into the cart, I talk sweet to them as I walk by inviting them to come join my garden and they can't wait to hop in. Hubby knows that cause it's how I got him almost 32 years ago.
I had to give DH list of veggy seeds I all ready got. Because he showed me what he bought. then I placed on table one i bought. But we take to church and share for ones who can't garden anymore.
For the area that I'm planting in I can't handle anymore...they scream at me to bring them home from the store...most i have no idea what they are..LOL...the seeds..i had to pry myself away because i almost went starkraving crazy on that aisle. Luvdirt: I couldn't stand it if my hubby gave me $100..I would prob leave the house without something on from being excited or hair not combed.....LOL
Haha the only reason plants dont jump into my cart is A) I dont have any place prepared for them (yet!! I need to borrow my grampas cultivator...) B) I have no money to take them home C) I dont use a cart when I go to nurseries <.<
