Bee balm is my favorite when it blooms. Until it does it looks like a weed and pops up everywhere. I have a garden that I can't weed until I realize what is a flower and what is a weed! The birds like to bring me seeds too. I have a Shasta daisy plant and Bachelors buttons from them!AnnMarie aka Vintage Junkie aka NaNahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969507879772949374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-81729719932482275572016-06-17T01:43:42.568-04:002016-06-17T01:43:42.568-04:00Your gardens are lovely!

I'm not really sure. Mine didn't, but that's ok, I started fresh this year. By the end of the season the mint is so root bound anyway it would have to go to a bigger pot if it came back.

This past weekend, I wanted to separate it into two pots and lawd have mercy, That stuff was just one big hairy vine under the dirt. Threw a lot out in a wooded area in the corner of my lot to just get rid of it. Maybe I need to go retrieve it and throw it in the trash.<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.com
