Excellent perspective... Jeanne, ooh...a volunteer poppy...I would love one of those! Me, glad you got a chuckle out of that. So did I. :-) Carol, one gardener's volunteer is another gardener's invasion... Steven, that's very cool about that cherry tree. I love the story of your volunteer arugula, too, especially with what people pay for it at the store. Rachel, that's a terrific list of volunteers! I agree -- much easier if you don't have a lot of time to plant. Connie, I am a fan of the disorganized garden, particularly if it means you have something blooming at all times. Great stuff! Lydia, what a wonderful way to think about it! Excellent perspective…

Carol, one gardener’s volunteer is another gardener’s invasion…

They are the basis of my flower garden. It gets a little wild looking sometimes, but always has something in bloom! Love, love, LOVE volunteers! They are the basis of my flower garden.

Annual volunteers in my small garden are cherry tomatoes, arugula, kale, dill, parsely, summer savory and poppies and cosmos.

The best volunteer so far is a cherry tree that I found at the back of the yard in some bushes, not many cherries, but a nice surprise.

But sometimes you don't, then they are pests, thugs, nuisances, even weeds! Or they could become passalong plants. You just never know what you are going to get with volunteers!
