RE: todays issues in the garden......

There is a wild rose that grows here with rosehips the wild birds absolutely
LOVE.  Well, when there has been a good "rose" year, the following year will
find many new "starts" from rosehips deposited on the soil with their own
fertilizer.  Perhaps that is what happened for you?

Blessings,

Today I noticed my Black & Blue salvia is coming up all over the place --  
like all over the yard.  I dug it up and, voila, it travels by underground 
runners.  There were a whole bunch of them.  I just put those babies back in

the bed where they belonged.  Can you imagine B&B being an invasive?  I 
noticed, too, that my Phlomis fruticosa has multiplied by rooting everwhere 
the stems have come in contact with the ground.  It's blooms are currently 
opening.  In fact, everything is jumping up all over the place much faster 
than I can control it.  Oh, and the creepiest thing -- I'm finding 
gazillions of tiny rose plants everywhere!  They are just like those we call

'wild' with the little white blooms.  Anyway, I don't know where they are 
coming from, but they have taproots that reach to China.
