Johnny Jump Ups

Yesterday my friend gave me some little Johnny Jump Ups from her garden. In the spring they "jump up" all over her flower garden and she has more than she wants. So, she gives them away, and I am often the happy recipient. I plunked them in the front flower bed or "roundy garden" as my little ones used to say. I see that there are too many daisies coming up there, so I'll dig some up and pass them along to my neighbor. I love pass-along gardens.

Around Valentine's Day I bought a little rose bush to brighten our winter. It was looking pale, so I found a spot for it in the roundy garden too. Now if I can keep the grasshoppers at bay...
