Someday I may try to identify them, but meanwhile, I take much delight in seeing them :) When I have to dig up violets to make a garden row, I try to transplant some in other places - this Spring I've transplanted more than 20 violets. A gift that keeps on giving! :)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-81635892894058938082018-06-04T11:35:50.678-04:002018-06-04T11:35:50.678-04:00I like your little greenhouse.

I guess I'm buying plants this year.<br />I'm curious - is there a reason why you keep the violets? We have some growing wild in our yard and I figured they were just enticing the rabbits to graze.Carmen Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950329700286851267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-22907051732254888792018-05-15T18:54:06.084-04:002018-05-15T18:54:06.084-04:00Goutweed has to be one of the most invasive plants...Goutweed has to be one of the most invasive plants going - and so hard to get rid of.

Most of my "boughten" seed has come from them in the past few years. I also like High Mowing, which is VT-based and all organic.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-70898968043178684902018-05-13T20:18:22.495-04:002018-05-13T20:18:22.495-04:00Wow, you have some excellent snoopervisors there! ...Wow, you have some excellent snoopervisors there! Looks like you've been very productive. I notice your Sow True seeds. I really like their catalog for all the information about planting to avoid cross pollination. Very helpful!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
