Petunias

Petunias are an annual plant, wonderful in garden beds, or containers.  One year I had red and white petunias in my wheelbarrow planter.  The above photo is of some double petunias I had in pots on my step ladder planter.

Have a look at the petunias this year.

Seed identification

After flowering the seed pod will develop.  When it turns a beige/brown colour it is ready for picking.  The seeds are very tiny ... almost resembe pepper that has been shaken out on a plate.   You need to be quick in harvesting the seeds as the pods spring open and the seeds will disperse quickly.
