Sucker born every minute...


Someone at the local farmer's market sells violets.

Personally, I could consider almost any ivy in the same class as the
more aggressive oxalises, but I admit, I've paid for the fancies.

There's a white aster for sale and even the local garden columnist
admitted she bought it on the strength of the description--only to
discover it was the same as the weed she spent a lot of effort removing
every year.

I have some sweet autumn clematis free for the digging... It never
spread in my last home, 35 miles north, and is everywhere and resistant
to Roundup in this lot.  How about Canna Omega, or Giant Arundo grass,
or Helianthus (any?).  White ginger, anyone?  

Even milk-and-wine crinums--I'm not offering to let anyone dig mine, but
I'm pretty amazed at what they sell for, given how they have taken over
the bed.
