Holy Flying Geranium Seeds! (Video)
The garden is full of Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) seed pods these days. And remember how I said that Wild Geranium spreads via exploding seed pods that hurl the seeds several feet (with a good wind) from the mother plant? So when my friend Jo ana came to help in the garden last week she …

Perennial Winners and Losers in the Sidewalk Border
