Three dollar wheelbarrow with yellow mums and pumpkin. My alpine strawberries started bearing the last week of May and are still producing. I started to save seeds. I always buy a hardy mum each September. This was last year's. It has a preying mantis protecking it. This is a photo of my autumn joy sedum I started from cuttings in June. Ageratum. PeeGee hydrangea. I always dry a bouquet. My purple mixture of petunias. I collect seeds each Fall to plant the following Spring.
Sooooo pretty. I'm hoping with the tad bit cooler weather we have now some of my heat stressed plants will make a comeback and make a pretty fall showing.
oubee the Alpine strawberry has to be started with seeds. They do not send out runners like the other strawberry plants. The Alpine strawberry plant only lasts 3 years. I allow the strawberries to get really ripe. I pick them and put them on a plate to dry. When they are dry, I roll them between my thumb and "pointer" finger and the seeds fall off.
This is a very nice display of flowers and plants. It is interesting for me to see how things are there. Good work, mate.
