For several years now I have been wanting to have honey suckle on our property. I have never done anything to bring this about but was happy to find some growing up behind and over our pea trellis. I had been watching the plant for some time, wondering what it could be that grew so well. It grew up from behind the trellis, pushing it forward, causing the trellis to be damaged beyond repair. Not really a problem, I wanted to replace it next year anyway. Besides, the sweet smell and nectar for the insects is more than worth it.
Also, we just left the walking onion in the raised bed, thinking that it was dead and would add to the organic matter in the soil. Instead, it has grown amazingly well!
We have other stowaways from last year as well. This beautiful leaf lettuce has grown wonderfully where the seed landed last fall.
Since this is the Sabbath Year, we will not be harvesting any of these wonders. It's just nice to have the beauty and sweet smells that come from letting God's land rest.
