Re: Transplanting wildflowers

Here's an alternative idea that works for me and which allows the mother
plants to stay in the wild and continue to "be fruitful" ; >)

I mark an area or plant that I want to grow at home where it is growing
wild, and I harvest the seeds later for planting in our gardens. I
usually use the marking tape that you can buy in hardware stores, and
tie it on a branch that I push into the ground near the plant. I use
wooden paint stirrers to mark a number or code name on too, and put them
in the ground beside the plant I want because it is often easy to
overlook them once they stop flowering.

We'll be transplanting the things we are taking to our new farm in the
next few weeks. Hopefully the weather won't be as outrageously hot as it
can be here!

Hope you all remember to stop and smell the flowers this summer.

Another Thyme,
Sharron
