They like to come up along the graveled drive way, but will come up in the beds as well. Once the pods are good and dry, sprinkle the seeds with abandon in the areas you want them. A couple of years of that action and you won't have to worry about a few getting crushed. x0 N2N2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09508740809219902631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-84355279538946612292016-06-05T07:37:30.048+01:002016-06-05T07:37:30.048+01:00YP: You're right! It did!
E: Well, I don'...YP: You're right! It did!<br /><br />E: Well, I don't want a heatwave, exactly! :)<br /><br />Ellen: Pink ones would be nice! We did gather some seeds last year and scatter them in another bed, but none of them sprouted. Not sure why. These seem to like the rocky, craggy spaces around the steps -- they don't seem to seed themselves in open soil.<br /><br />Parrots: Ha! Well, it DID get warmer as the day wore on, and besides, mowing ALWAYS makes a person sweat!<br /><br />Ms Moon: It still blows my mind that I live in a place where I don't need A/C.<br /><br />Jenny-O: They ARE pretty. I wish they'd grow in a better place!<br /><br />Sharon: Ugh. Record heat.<br /><br />John: I usually leave blooms on the plants unless they get knocked off by the dog. Then they become windowsill decor. :)<br /><br />Linda: Also called "love-in-a-mist," which is the name I'd heard in the states. I didn't know it as Nigella until we moved here, but as it turns out, that's the latin name. (Nothing to do with Nigella Lawson!)<br /><br />Red: It HAS been weird. I feel like I say that every year. They just get weirder and weirder.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-76846804580335326832016-06-05T02:10:03.917+01:002016-06-05T02:10:03.917+01:00This old weather man says , "It's been a ...This old weather man says , "It's been a weird year weatherwise."Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-80000641836445208782016-06-04T23:41:12.761+01:002016-06-04T23:41:12.761+01:00Nigella, never knew that's what those carroty ...Nigella, never knew that's what those carroty things were called.

I don't think I've seen nigella plants here.

I didn't have as many as last year because I didn't toss the seed I collected. not collecting seed this year so maybe I'll get more to come back next year. if Olga doesn't destroy the last ones you should collect the seed and spread them in a better place.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-59860450478135350632016-06-04T11:26:48.810+01:002016-06-04T11:26:48.810+01:00If only I could ship your our heatwave...If only I could ship your our heatwave...ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-48687267452529776162016-06-04T10:30:53.358+01:002016-06-04T10:30:53.358+01:00Spring will restart tomorrow.Spring will restart tomorrow.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
