This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

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.
