Plant Rescue Mission
"Hey, Chloe, you want some plants?" my neighbor asked.
"Yeah. Sure." I said.
"Great – because I'm moving, and they need a good home," he said. "Otherwise, this bulldozer is going to take them."
"I will give them a good home," I said.
And that is how I recently rescued some plants.
Meet the newest members of the Courtyard community:
Ferns
Date planted: September 24
I planted them on both sides of the bird bath/frog pond. Funny thing is, I almost got ferns at the nursery recently to plant in this very spot.
They're going to like the shade here.
Dichondra
Date planted: September 24
This is a perennial groundcover. I saw a bunny standing on it one morning. He liked that we're finally installing carpet in the Courtyard.
Also rescued growing on some wood pieces:

The other plant you see in the wheelbarrow in the first picture of this post is alyssum (I think). I planted it in a pot, but it didn't take root. I'm glad it didn't because I learned it's an invasive species in California.
The ferns and dichondra are rooting well into their new home.
