Hello all,
I will be brave and ask a question, rather than my usual browsing and
learning from all you very nice and "experienced "gardeners. I really enjoy
all the helpful information I get here. Thanks to all.
I'm a rather new gardener in my present location. I'm in the western
mountains of North Carolina....what a glorious place and now the leaves are
gorgeous!!
My question: Can I collect seeds from my perennial flowers before they are
dry on the plant? I have a lovely display of beauties...very proud of them
. I suprised myself with this being my second year of experimenting at this
altitude (5000 feet) and with plants that are new and different to me. I'm
more of a seasoned tropical gardener. So........I would like to collect
seeds now, while some are still not dried. Is this a reasonable thing?
Should I plant the seeds (the dried ones) in October or early November
before the snow and cold begin, rather than waiting until Spring? I leave
this summer home in November and don't return until the following May.
Thanks for any suggestions. "A day in the garden is a HAPPY day"
