Another plant thriving right next to the tree--in an elevated bed--are the Northern Sea Oats....
Here they are still just growing. NO oat heads yet!

Had plenty of them at the Swap--Not too many takers.....YES! They ARE notorious self-seeders! Where do you think I get all these seedlings from????? They are ALL in my "YUK" bed--right next to the bed the oats are in!
You CAN just cut off all the dried oat seed-heads in late Fall and prevent this from happening.....

My God! Every time I look in this bed--these Oat seedlings are coming up--everywhere!
I am on a mission--ERADICATE THEM ALL!!!!! Dig them up--pot them up--and pass them on to someone else....

Note to any of you that took these--or have these. DO NOT PLANT THESE IN--OR NEXT TO--A FLOWER BED!!!! You will be sorry!

However--planted in an out-of-the-way spot, by a pond--where they can "do their thing"--they will be wonderful!

edited to say--that that tall-stemmed plant to the right--in the big pot--is the "Tomatillo" I am growing ONE of--for the first time....from seed...I was told by the woman that gave me the seeds--how big it will grow....
GEEZ! This is just in it's adolescence!!!!! I think I am in for a "bush".......:o)
