They are so light and airy I'd love to save them somehow.

I really though it was because of the white flowers and how it looks like a blanket of frost. Learn something new every day, ha.

I'd be ok with no seeds in the flower beds, I plan on using transpants to get things started next Spring. <br /><br />I'm going to do some more research for that. Thank you again. <br /><br />I totally understand about not being able to get things to work in blogspot, It does have those moments. It's ok, I like all comments, ha.

Anima...The seeds stick only after they have dried. Animals get so covered with them that they must be shorn. Yes corn gluten is the only thing I use for stopping seeds from germinating. It works great for any kind of seed, even in flowerbeds but you will then have to do only transplants not seed to plant another flower. Works great in the yard for little goat burrs that jab you when they get a chance. Little buggers can be wiped out in two seasons with the use of corn gluten. for that reason alone I love to use it!!

Hmm, I DID think about that, of course I was on the mower mostly. I'd stay on the paths mostly, I don't think I'd venture out through there TOO much. And at night? Um, that would be a definite no, ha. I will keep my eyes open. Thank you for the heads up.

Best of all, next year I'll be able to go "oh, the frostweed is blooming" and I'll sound like I know what I'm talking about, ha. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-8721149771053803602012-09-26T22:26:10.607-05:002012-09-26T22:26:10.607-05:00Aw, thanks for that.

I think it's so cool there are plants in one place that no one has in other places. <br /><br />They do smell great, even while I'm riding down the paths on the mower I can smell them when the breeze blows.
