Dude, at least you're getting some WORK out of the darn rodents. Around here, they just steal the birdseed and laugh, laugh, laugh.
What's wrong with growing some noble maple trees? True, they probably won't fit in the planter boxes for long, but that's why you call those the "Nursery area." You can sell them when they get older as carbon offsets.
I have maple trees like that mixed in with my corn ;-) And coming up randomly in my lawn.
We're thinking of starting a maple tree business.
How do you plant maple trees? Are their 'fruits' acorns?
I sound like an idiot. Don't I? But truly, I don't know the answer to that.
I should google.....
After 3 years of breast feeding my Gerber Daisies, I've thrown in the towel. DONT EVER BUY GERBER DAISIES. They are mean.
We call those "volunteers" around here. And yes, my planter boxes (such as they are) have them too. Can't we pretend we meant that? They're green!
lol....! A friend of mine planted fake flowers in her planter boxes and it took her husband nearly 6 months before he realized it. See, there is hope! Next time go fake...much easier. : )
What? How can the garden club complain? Its growing nicely, doesn't need a lot of tending, and it adds beautiful colour to the white flower boxes :)
LOL!
They probably use rabbits.
Don't look at me. I can kill plastic plants.
Hopefully the membership price was refundable?! I kid, I kid.... don't beat yourself up! Window boxes are a pain in the pa-toot to keep going :)
I'm just glad that nobody can see my little plantings from where they sit in the back yard. Everything is growing, but only because Mother Nature has been dumping us with rain! Otherwise, I would be going out and wondering when it was I last remembered to water them!
Wow. I've always heard that only G*d can make a tree!
Wow, so something had to volunteer to live in your flower box. I like that! They do look happy there. :D
All my plants have drowned from all the rain, so my membership is being recalled too! You are not alone.
Maple trees! What foresight you have. You can grow them and tap them for your family's maple syrup. That's what I would tell people.
oh but they're cute!!
Personally, I'm really enjoying my lovely mixed-use planter of clover and mis-thrown grass seed.
Yeah, I had to give mine back too. They wouldn't even refund my money. Jerks.
This is hilarious! Few words, but funny. I've wanted to start a recession garden, more like a container garden, but we have Peter Cotton tail, and his friends running lose in the neighborhood.
I'd hate to "Kill da wabbit." (Like Elmer Fud)
Oh, so your were NOT trying to grow Maple tree's? You must have a really green thumb considering they decided to grow for you anyway. Bravo.
I'm sorry why do they want their membership back? You have done a good job, you a growing something green in a pretty white box!!
Girl, learn like my mother did. Plant silk plants and flowers. You'll get offers from other garden clubs for a free membership.
BTW - Your grass looks great!
is that not how they're supposed to look? They're green. They're plants.
we have so much in common!
Um, that looks fab compared to my side garden, which is being invaded by my sweet 88-year-old neighbor's very, VERY hearty and strong weeds!
what is up with the maple trees everywhere? we have those too.
my husband likes to make this comment that anything is a weed if it is growing somewhere you don't want it to...so
conversely--
yes, you do want maple saplings in you boxes, so. they. are. not. weeds. see, it's all a matter of perspective.
