   Sometimes my very haphazard forlorn-hope gardening actually works out.
   Some time ago (a year? two? three?) I cut back a #lavender and scattered the withered dead bits in the sodden weed-infested bed that accompanies the path to my front door. (It needs all the organic matter it can get.)
   Then some smaller time ago, when ripping the weeds back yet again, I found this little seedling - now transplanted for its own safety.
   Sometimes #gardening is an endless struggle against the invasive...and sometimes there's a moment of grace when it just happens.
