The
plant it self, can be short lived sometimes..
but should reseed..
If not, collect the
seeds and make
sure when planting the
seeds yourself
the
seeds land on top of soil, and don't cover..
When I was new to gardening... and I had gotten a Jacob's Ladder as one of the slue of new
plants to my gardening repertoire...
I was meticulous about weeding and I had composted around that area with some old horse and bunny manure from my old farm on the hill...
and I had suspected
weed seeds in it..
so, every year, I pulled up
weeds around the Jacob's Ladder faithfully...
Well, I was pregnant and had a C~section and for 2 years after that I didn't feel right, but long story short, my weeding didn't get done as much as I liked.. but... my slow in weeding produced a beautiful supply of new baby
seedlings from my Jacob's Ladder...
AND THOSE WERE THE BABIES I'D BEEN WEEDING ALL ALONG..
:rolleyes:
so, moral of the story, sometimes you learn the darnest things by being slow or way~layed!!!
The babies didn't look like the momma
plant...
The leaves were totally different, until the second set of leaves or true leaves appeared..
and tha'ts how I knew I'd been weeding babies...
