    Well, be careful of it. It does reseed and it grows about any where and doesn't seem to care if you feed or water it. I like it so I don't pull it out. Sometimes it will grow when nothing else does. The hollyhocks are like that too. Dooley

    The butterfly bush is called "Black Knight" The ants are chewing on it so I will have to dump another mixed up mess down their hole. Dooley

    I dearly love your wheelbarrow - I have a patch that I don't know what to do with and now you have me thinking that a wheelbarrow might be nice there. :D
