My Mullein from Seeds
Posted on October 16, 2024 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
 
Look how beautiful my Mullein has become.  These are the plants growing in the driveway, where I accidentally dropped some seeds last summer.  Now, don't get me wrong;  I planted plenty of these tiny seeds all over the place, but I don't think I would have put them right here in the driveway.
 
Even still, they are here now, and I love watching them grow.  I love the fuzziness of their leaves, and I can see how somebody might put a few of these leaves in their shoes to keep warm.  I read that fact in several descriptions of mullein.  I also read that the seeds can maintain viability for up to a hundred years.  
 
Mullein grows these great rosettes the first year, and blooms the second year.  So, I guess these will have to stay here until that happens.  We may just have to find another place to park the truck.  I have my priorities, you know.
 
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
