I think you are right, Bill.
I think its illegal, too.
Seems like there was some discussion of the legality of doing this last year
some time. I've only done it twice. This summer and once about 20 years ago.
Right after digging up what I think is Anchusa, I found a small one (at
Wal-Mart) but is only supposed to get 12 inches tall. I'm hoping to find out
what some of the other things are so I can look for them at garden centers.
Lord knows I don't kneed a ticket for trespassing!!!
BTW, How do you all like what they print on those plant labels?
They may say the plant blooms in summer. Doesn't tell you for only one week!
Or says Height is 2 to 4 ft!
Its hard enough to figure out where to plant something and then find out it
gets a foot taller than you expected!!!!
