Want some easy-to-dig-up volunteer trees? Just make a pile of dirt! Let's see, I have Mimosas, Pin Oaks, Silver Maples (from the neighbor's tree). I expect to have Sycamores and Cottonwoods in it shortly..lol - pic #1

I like your Coneflowers pepper, you have a bunch of them too. I have a big clump of them, they're in a cut-out in the weed fabric down there so they won't be spreading much. pic #2

A couple of years ago I planted a Canna way down deep (about 10") to see if it would come up the next year. It did last year but I wasn't really expecting it to this year (it got very cold this winter).
Anyway, here it is but I have a problem with it now! It is squeezed between a drainpipe and the foundation! Another one is close to where it should be. it is pic #3 You have to concentrate on the photo, the Canna seedlings are hard to make out a little among the mulch (they're purplish, there's one on each side of the blue hose and I only planted 1 bulb..lol)
