HOW TO CAPTURE SEEDS FOR FREE!!!

I noticed that the sunflowers and white daisies are about out of blooms, yea for me. Get my scissors and away I go.

Cut off the flower after it has bloomed, it is full of seeds, dry the seeds and you are ready for next years crop.

What smells in the fridge? Did that tomato go bad in the fridge? Yea for me!

Take the seeds out, spread them on some wax paper or tin foil, let them dry and next years tomato seeds are here.

Same can be true for melons, squash, peppers, eggplants, zucchini, cucumber, beans, peas, corn, anything with a seed in it.

I like to separate my seeds in plastic bags, when dry. I label them tall flowers, small flowers, and then vegetables in individual bags.

Have fun with dying flowers and spoiled vegetables and fruits.

CONTAINER GARDENING

Ah, got the coffee in one hand and the computer in the other. Sitting on the deck around 11 am. In no hurry today.

Another beautiful day in southern Montana. Sun is bright and not a breeze inthe sky. Sound of tractors working in the background.

The cows are at peace, grazing and resting. Tummys are full.

Tomatoes are green and coming to life. Red should be showing

up soon. Nothing like a tomato straight from the vine. Juicy
and runs down your chin. Can hardly wait.

The creek is slowing down with a beautiful trickle sound. There was a beaver the other day.
The birds and ducks are playing in the water. I can't hear the splashing as they tip their wings in the water and jump on a small pad of grass in the creek.

The mountains look spectacular. No snow on them yet. The nights are getting chilly and the days are warm.

Living in a condo allows for little maintanence and more time for enjoying life.

Gardening in containers is easy and beautiful.

So grab your coffee and let's go out to the deck.

Lots of pansies, geraniums and small plants for the pots. Fill your container full and let the colors run over the edge of the containers.

On the computer now with that coffe before it gets cold. See you later.

Well the first blog on container gardening.

Yea, it August, the days are long and warm and the nights are cool. The weather is gorgeous. Living in a condo with no garden spot could be challenging, except that our deck is our garden. Our deck looks out over the Spanish Peak Mountain Range, a creek running, a small farm with sheep and cattle line the condo property. Ducks, beaver and herins play in the pasture. Hanging planters are beautiful, we chose to do geraniums, they bloom continually through the summer and need very little care.
