    When I was walking around the front yard today, I almost walked on a white petunia. I walked around it and then went back and looked again. What was a white petunia doing in the middle of the yard? I didn't plant it there. I started looking and found ten petunias growing in the yard. It was near a circular flower bed that had petunias in it last spring. They must have went to seed before I pulled the dead plants out of the bed and put lettuce in it.
    I transplanted them into a flower bed so we wouldn't walk on them. Picture tomorrow, maybe!

    It's great to find volunteers, especially when you had something to do with their parents. :)
