These are plants that grow or have grown in my garden at craftygardener.ca
Did you know the term perennial refers to plants that live longer than 2 years but not necessarily live forever? Many plants appear to live longer than 3 years because they self seed themselves or send off shoots to new plants. Of course there are the plants likes peonies, hostas, and daylilies that seem to live on forever.

Try this hint before you work in the garden. Push your fingers into a bar of soap so that the soap gets under your nails. The dirt won’t get stuck under your nails and clean up is so much easier.
