2A Daily News – Thursday, May 19, 2011 Community people&events Campbell to retire Unwanted plants By CATHY WILSON Invasive plants loose in your flower beds are not a good thing. They are extremely difficult to remove once established. I’ve tried digging them out and as a last resort painted their leaves with a herbicide all to no avail. They remain persis- tent yet resistant to all my efforts of their mass destruction. They contin- ue on their merry way invading every square inch of soil as possi- ble. How did they get planted in the Mickey Campbell, a physical therapist who has been serving Red Bluff residents for 30 years, is retiring. He has worked at Brentwood Skilled Nursing and Red Bluff Health Care as well as St. Elizabeth Com- munity Hospital during his career in Red Bluff. Campbell will continue to work through the month of May and then will be spending his time traveling and working in his garden at home in Redding. There will be a celebration of Campbell’s career from noon to 2 p.m. Friday, May 20, at Brentwood Skilled Nursing, 1795 Walnut St., in Red Bluff and the public is invited.

The answer is simple. I was enticed by their appearance. I knew that I had just found the perfect plant for an empty spot in my garden. Some- times they were given to me as a gift from a friend’s garden and at other times I selected them at a nursery. I have long since learned that there are clues on plant tags that should have warned me—actually descriptions which read ‘vigorous’, ‘very hardy’ and ‘easy to grow’. It is a must to read the plant I.D. cards on both sides, front and back. Because I am so determined to overcome these unruly plants in my garden, I feel compelled to warn other unsuspecting gardeners who might be tempted to purchase these same plants. The first is the ever enchanting Japanese anemone with its gay nodding flowers in either single or double blossoms. They are known to be "indispensable" for fall flower col- ors in white, pink, or rose. If you too fall in love with them, plant them in pots where they are con- tained. The second plant is Arum italicum ‘Pictum’. It’s good feature is that it is evergreen in the winter months and it has attractive large arrowhead shaped leaves which are white veined. In early spring it sends up calla-like flowers followed by thick clusters of orange berries which persist after the leaves die back in late spring to reappear the following winter. They grow from tubers and naturalize easily and quickly from volunteer seedlings. The third ruthless plant ravishing my beds is the aster also known for splendid fall flower color in rosy pinks and purples. They have inva- sive roots and can re-grow from small fragments left in the soil. They spread wildly and before you know become nuisances. These and other varieties that "take over" can be used to natural- ize in areas without a formal garden bed. They can be grown in spots that are difficult to mow or to grow grass, on such areas as on rocky hillsides or under trees or in a con- tainer.
