Our Homestead

One of many things I love about forget me nots is that they bloom pretty much during the entire season, from spring until autumn.
Strange enough, many flowers are done blooming by the end of July but forget me nots just keep going and going. They look beautiful in bouquets too.

Funny I read this just now.
Yesterday I went apple picking and I ran into some sticky stuff. I didn't see it until I got in the house.
It was green and all tiny little sticky things. They were stuck to my shoelaces and to my jeans. I tried to get them off my shoelaces but had to give up and throw the shoelaces out. Meh.

Forget me nots are perennial, and lovely flowers.
I usually grow them in my vegetable garden and then transplant them to the wild at the end of the season.
It's really nice that their seeds are rather big. Not sure if you've noticed, but flower seeds tend to be small, at least most of them are.
Forget-me-nots are easy to grow, but the variety that I use has a slight problem.
At the end of the season when they go into seed, the plants can be huge, and sticky, very sticky.
Just brushing against a plant like that can ruin a fleece jacket unless you have time and patience to pull off every seed. There will be hundreds.
This doesn't prevent me from planting forget-me-nots every year though. I love them so much!
