You know, some people find volunteer tomatoes like I have a few years or even found volunteer cantaloupe that I thought was an unusual type of cuke one year. Then I have seen many of you post about plants you can't even identify. Well, let me tell you what I found yesterday. While I was checking for signs of new growth, a few tomatoes, some peppers and hopefully a few beans, I glanced down and there was a pair of glasses in with the tomato plants. Yep, a couple of weeks ago, I lost a pair of reading glasses, looked all over the house for them, was frustrated because I couldn't even remember the last time I had worn them. I guess I have learned it isn't always best to stick them on top of your head just because you are not reading at the time. I will say, other than a little dusty they are just fine.
Moved into my house a year ago, and found lots of weeds growing on top of landscape fabric. The bed was tiger lilies and peonies. The latter was being smothered by the landscape fabric, which is all gone now, together with the lilies, which were a bit monotonous with a shorter blooming season.
I have a narrow side yard, about 3 feet wide with a 6 foot wall separating from the yard next door. It is blocked off from the front of the house by a large arbor vitae and is difficult to see from anywhere on my property unless you look out the bedroom window which I keep curtained. Nothing grows back there except for a couple of largish vitex and some weeds.
So one year, I have my bedroom window cracked open and I got a nice, musky flower scent coming from outside. I pull the curtain and there are about a half dozen 4-foot tall flowering cannabis plants right outside my window. Apparently my neighbor was emptying his cleaning tray over my wall.
A large Bowie Knife blade so old the handle had rotted away.
