I just wanted to share this with you all. And ask you to share your own gardening wisdom.

"When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant." -author unknown

Yeah... I read that before too. Had planted some "flower seeds" from a seed packet labeled impatiens. I thought they looked like weeds when sprouting. Pulled a few up, yielded very easily from the ground. So me thought, oops ..valuable flower! Next thing I knew...I had foxtail grass waving all over the place. The pumpkins loved the waving of the tails.. but I yanked those things up before you could spell f-ox-!!.. Yes, they still yielded very easy from the ground!

Be very careful about shared plants. There's usually a reason that there is plenty
to share! I learned this the hard way when I first started gardening.
