The open seed pod of a violet plant, filled with brown seeds.

Yellow flower of a Smooth Yellow Violet (Viola eriocarpa) in the spring.

A mass of Common Blue Violet (Viola sororia) in May.

Collecting violet (Viola) seeds is tricky because they spread like 🍿 popping. It’s easiest that nab them before the capsule splits open (seeds must be brown).

Jasminum volubile - Wax Jasmine is one more excellent choice of fragrant #Jasminebush for your landscaping needs.

This quick-growing vine with glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant white #flowers works beautifully for trellises, #groundcovers or #containerplants.

Hurray! The red clover seeds arrived from American Meadows just in time for #reduceyourlawnday! I have a bit of grass on my sidewalk hellstrip that I want to remove and replace with this great pollinator-supporting, no-mow Groundcover. #groundcovers #reduceyourlawn

You know, because I don’t already have enough projects in the works ;-), I decided to start another holiday (I started Seed Swap Day 18 yrs ago). See reduceyourlawnday.com
