Recently my husband and I were looking at our old garden that is located at the other end of our property and we noticed that so many of the vegetable plants had for a couple of generations have gone to seed and naturalized themselves into the area around the planters. It occured to us that maybe they could naturalize around the house. Since the carrots seem to be the most adventurous I began gathering seed from them, took them home and scattered the seeds on the downhill side of the yard.
This year one carrot plant did come up and so far the gophers haven't eaten it yet. That one carrot has now gone to seed and is ready to plant the next generation of carrots. I am hopeful that they will grow and spread around.
Now for the walking Egyptian onions. If I can just get them to walk over here. :)
