This Week in the Garden

The black-eyed susans have started to bloom, earning some forgiveness for all the trouble they cause. Not that they are hard to grow -- on the contrary, they, along with the perennial argeratum, have become one of my worst weeds. You can see old, semi-abandoned gardens around here completely taken over by black-eyed susans. Below, just a small sample of the hundreds of black-eyed susan and argeratum seedlings I pull up every year.

So if anybody out there wants some black-eyed susans or perennial argeratum, come see me this fall or next spring....

Oh, the nasturtiums in the pots on the front porch are looking splendid.
