Hope Optimism and Love
Marigolds are supposed to reseed themselves
And so they do, as do roses and other perennials
Weeds of course are notorious for reseeding themselves
I have renegade trees all over my yard too, with red berries.
No idea what they are called.
Mums go to seed, and I never know if they will come back or not.
Some have come back, others have never come back.
Some people rake away the chaff from autumn
I never do, optimistic that some of my plants will reseed themselves
I am the only person I know who sometimes sees annuals come up the next year
I attribute this to hope, optimism, and love.
