While working on another project last January, I saw this pot full of grass seedlings,..looking so lush and full. So I took a photo.
This is the pot that for the last few years has held hyacinth bulbs and off season, I keep it in my potting area just waiting for April. It has reliably bloomed with Easter egg color flowers the last four years with little care.
Last April, I took a closer picture and noticed a few different blooms,…miner’s lettuce!
Now back to January, I thought, hmmm, I’d keep an eye on these ‘grass seedlings.’ Wondered what kind of grass, or weeds they’d be. Oh, you can guess, right??
Yes, looking down at the base of the ‘grass’ I did think, ‘Are these miner lettuce seedlings?’ Couldn’t be…growing so thickly together? And the miner’s lettuce growing around the pot were on the ground, but no, there were those few in the pot last year….
