This is the time of year
of bounty, harvest
and thankfulness!
Nature is binding up it's
cycle and bringing forth
the "new" as it
prepares for rest...
...seeds are found
in all sorts of forms...
fruit ..
......nuts
....fluff
all waiting for their chance to
grow anew in the new season
after the winter's rest!
It is a time to gather
and harvest before
the cold takes hostage
all of the bounty!
It is time to hang herbs
and dried flowers
and to save petals and leaves for
potpourris or for pressed flowers
and arrangements
It is also a time to gather
flower seeds
for the "Secret Garden"!!
Thank you to all that entered the
give a way!
one does not need much...
a box....
a paper bag...
a sift....
a funnel....
some clippers ....
and scissors!

You must wait until the
seeds are ready and mature
and dry on the plant
before harvesting them!
Sweet rocket
long pods must dry on the plant
Feverfew
Don't pick too early!
These must be brown and look
to be "dead" on the stalks
maturing on the plant!
Truly truly I say unto you,
except a corn of wheat fall
into the ground and die,
it stays alone: but if it die,
it brings forth much fruit
John 12:24
Don't know what these are ?
(but they are so pretty and
only open early in the morning)
Blackeyed Susans
Oh look drum roll please...
keep in a dry place till
Spring!
