stolons

the berry plants have begun to produce some voluptuous berries over the past few days and will continue to do so into october...they are also produc8ing stolons and the plant in the second photo is attempting to create daughters by runing stolons into the bed with the tomatoes, cucumbers, and asparagus...they are about eighteen inches long, are already sprouting leaves and, if you look closely at the last photo, you will see that the stolon i am holding has begun to set a root where it had touched the soil...unfortunately i cannot ( and will not ) allow the berries to colonize that bed ( human interference in the lives of plants is what gardening is all about )..i was talking to Jean about the method for creating potted plants by burying a pot in the bed and letting the stolon set root in it and create a plant in that...cut he stolon and you have a plant to move wherever...thinking we will do that as an experiment/learning experience...the berries do not have a robust flavor so i have ordered 9 and, i am told, they have shipped ) another variety of wild strawberry from n y state...we may try our hand at cross breeding once the new arrivals are established....more on the stolon/potted plant in a bit....i have to find a suitable pot.
