Garden info... [Nov. 25th, 2009|10:33 pm]

It was brought to my attention that some foxgloves are short-lived perennials. So I checked it out on the Internet and learned that Strawberry Foxglove is indeed a perennial while the common foxglove is biennial. I have a patch of the common foxglove and a single Strawberry Foxglove growing in the main garden. Since the latter bloomed, perhaps at least one of the seeds dropped from the flowerhead will successfully become a new plant.

I love self seeders. My downfall is wanting to put down mulch or compost before giving them time to grow. I'm going to have to control myself so as not to do that in the spring.

I'd like for that calendula to reseed itself. :)
