I spent much of the morning collecting and preparing seeds. I collected: a bunch of blue-eyed grass seeds, red hot poker seeds (not enough of those to trade though :( ), Johnny Jump-Ups, and gazillions from this plant with tiny blue flowers.
The last plant I haven't yet identified, but it looks really great in a big drift- you're able to see the flowers then. Once I identify what it is I'll offer them for trade. These seeds are TINY (smaller than poppy I think) but thankfully really easy to gather :)
I have some buds that are about ready to bloom on my Painted Lady climbing beans- I'll get pics as soon as they do. My hostas are also sending up loads of buds each. It will be really pretty when they bloom.
I noticed that I have these green ball-like things growing on some of my Lilly of the Valley. I posted it in Bulbs and Tubers, so if anyone has any ideas what they might be... I'll try to get some pics of those soon too.
Well, dinner's done and the kids are being really loud, so Bye for now :)

I am very curious as to how you collect blue-eyed grass seeds. Where do you find the seeds? Sorry to be so dumb but I really have no idea, just very very curious. |

It seems that it's awfully early in the season to have seeds already, but what do I know. Well, I am in the process of getting ready to harvest coriander, so I guess it's the type of plant. Have fun. |

That's a good question Gardenbug! In the case of the blue-eyed grass- they form rather large seed pods where the flowers were- once they brown and dry (or are already opening) they ready to pick! Witt- these are the spring plants- My main seed harvesting time is in the fall, when I gather the Joe-pye weed, liatris, baptisia, etc. :) Last edited by Aurora on June 3rd at 11:23 AM. |
