It's currently recovering in the raised veg bed but I wasn't sure where to move it to.

They are all over Long Island and we can't find a way to rid ourselves of them. The only saving grace is that they are pretty, but they crowd out everything else until they fade in a month or two.Lori at Jarvis Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228446681174977809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-48251733649451466692011-04-23T19:40:09.956-07:002011-04-23T19:40:09.956-07:00I can't take enough photos of the beautiful co...I can't take enough photos of the beautiful colorful blooms that happen to be out this time of year in California:) I really enjoyed seeing yours!
