Nice!

good start!

you can re plant those trampled ones of the pathway, they will be just fine.

Now for the hard part - the years of waiting to see what they become, grrrr!

I sometimes plant seeds right around the plant that came from, so I have some idea of their mama.

we also bury labels with the seedlings if we know where they came from.

best wishes!

hh, these were all around my Elagans. Of course they could have been pollinated by anything. I am putting the seedlings in an area along the road where I would be very likely to trample the very small ones, so they are better off where they are until they get larger.

I will line the road with them as they pop up. They will not be a "formal" part of the garden; just something a little unusual and hopefully something others can enjoy.....and at no cost! Who knows, something real nice may develop.

Jon, that is a great idea to plant hostas at roads, like apple trees were planted way in the past. I always thought to plant duplicate hostas at road sides, but never did it. Bernd

Bernd,

I am half owner of the property, so I am not exactly playing Johnny Appleseed. I have been planting some of the stuff I don't know what to do with on the roadside; but I did had a big Montauk daisy stolen and I am reluctant to put anything that costs much (or anything) out there. I have planted some rhododendrons, mums, vinca, various salvia (hosta seedlings) vines, etc and I even have a pumpkin patch (huge) from last years Halloween pumpkins that I threw into a pile of leaves, it got powdery mildew and I think I might only get 2 pumpkins. English ivy climbing the telephone pole.....sssshhhh, don't turn me in to the utility. I have about 220 foot frontage so I can play around with the space for a long time.

I get a lot of compliments, but I'm sure some neighbors think I'm bonkers, in a couple cases the feeling is mutual.
