365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

It's A Snap!
Day 252: It's a snap to grow snapdragons! It's been several years since I bought four colours as bedding plants, and they have self-seeded each successive year. I do find the occasional "volunteer" somewhere surprising, like in the raspberry patch, seed carried there by a bird or perhaps even on the sole of my shoe. Snaps are amazingly tenacious, blooming sometimes even after frost has killed down other plants. If they get a little aggressive, spreading to locations where they're unwanted, they're easy to dig out and transplant to a new spot. Snapdragons are cheery and fun! Every garden should have a few.
