Mystery Greens Gone Wild!

Mystery greens original has grown about 3 feet tall and is now flowering and seeding on the top. We are experiencing a very mild summer (a lot of 60 degree weather) so the lettuces and greens should do very well.
This is another of the series of "let them go wild" to see if I can get year-to-year starts that need very little attention.

My Flowering Potato Plant

This is my best looking potato plant so far. I have about 10 different plants in various places in the yard. My hope is to leave a couple of them to "go wild" and not harvest right away.
I once had a tomato garden that literally did go wild and from year to year we would have wild tomato plants starting up on their own. Wild plants seem to make some of the healthiest ones and need very little pampering.
