May First, 2013 - Back Yard Shots

      Where does time go?  It is May first already, and I am terribly behind in my gardening.  It was just such a cold and gray winter that I had difficulty waking up from hibernation.  It will be a summer where I have to buy all of my vegetable starts, because I don't even have peppers or tomatoes!

Plant Give Away

      No, that is not a mistake.  Every spring provides me with hoards of volunteer plants, both perennials and annuals.  They come up in places they should not be, or just crowd around at the base of the parent plant.  Most times they end up on the compost pile, quite a waste of talent.  So yes they are free to a good home. 
      Strings attached?  Yes.  You probably have to show up to help to pull them out.  You will need containers to haul them off.  If you want a bunch of stuff, a bag or two of topsoil would help to offset what dirt walks off with the free plants.  If you have something to trade, that would be nice, but is not required.
      Some things should have already been removed for bloom this year, but they will still be good for next year.  Visit this page often, as it will expand as time allows.  So without further ado, let's get going.  The list of volunteers:

Bleeding Heart
Jack in the Pulpit
Euonymus fortunei, ground cover
Red Primrose
Day lilies, pink and white phlox, African daisies
Blood Sorrel
Hellebores
      OK, that is a start.  I will add more as I go along.  Don't be shy.  Help me find some of these plants a good home.  Add a comment, call me, or my email address is on my profile page.  Garden on.
