Sharing

My mornings are pretty much devoted to work, but how could I say no when a friend asked if I wanted any mostly-sun perennials from her garden?
I finished editing the chapter I was working on, collected some boxes and drove over there. She has a huge, lovely, informal garden in her side yard and, while taking stock of what was coming up, realized that she really needed to get rid of some of the phlox, daisies, yarrow and strawberries that were escaping from their plots.
I happily took them off her hands, brought them home and dug them in later that afternoon.
She also tried to give me some mint, anise hyssop and lemon balm, but I've learned a thing or two over the years about how avidly they spread. No, thanks, my friend!
