Recently, these unidentified plants popped up in my onion pot, and I've been excitedly watching their growth, trying to figure out what they might turn into. Yes I could probably Google them or something, but that'd ruin the fun.

I guess most people would frown and treat any unexpected plants as weeds, but as an apartment dweller, I have to make do with a few pots sitting in my balcony, and when I see new life sprouting, it makes me happy.

So, does anyone else get excited at seeing weeds, or am I the only oddball here? :)

I always enjoy seeing a random flower pop up between sidewalk slabs. Next spring I actually fully intend to buy a few thousand wildflower seeds and spread them all over my new neighborhood.

Just be extra diligent in verifying the contents of any seed mix. Some of those mixes are full of invasive species.

Good to know. Thank you.
