This spring, for annuals, we mostly focused on planting pots on the new back patio. Looks great! (Well, actually it all looks a bit tired now that it’s August, but they have done their very best through this warm summer).
But I recently noticed that a pot in the side yard that we had forgotten about decided to plant itself! I think the weed salad that ended up there looks kind of lovely!
To make a great weed salad, you take some reseeded coleus, add a dandelion, a small tree, some clover, and a sprinkling of nutsedge and/or crabgrass (according to preference), and voila! A pretty pot for absolutely no money or work. This might be my new strategy….
Ha! Sadly, this year's flower garden turned into weed salad up here. I just pick what comes up on it's own and dream of next year. :-)
Sheer perfection! 😌😉😂
