Harvest

Good morning all,
The last hurrah of summer this weekend. Attended a fun party yesterday of a good friend, today the Sheboygan County Fair and Monday a chance to get in the yard and harvest the last of the plants that survived. Pictured is a wreath I made from last years vinca vines. I cut them and place them in a solution of one part glycerin and two parts water for two or three weeks. The plant does turn brownish in color but the process leaves it supple enough so they don't crumble. I made several flowers from an orange bag I had and added a bow. This year I'm going to try this method with a few other plants as well. Like always, I'll keep you posted. Happy, happy week!
