So .. Porcelain Berry vine has that beautiful blue I can count on every autumn rather small but outstanding in the BLUE department coming in clusters of blue, reddish, and purple colors. Leaves can come in variegated white also.
The vine is hardy growing 12 feet tall by 8 feet wide. Can be grown on the ground to cover rocks. Not eatable. The proper name is Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata.
An antique is something older than 100 years. They connect ourselves with the past. Maybe our ancestors homesteaded and antiques connect us to our ancestors. We can say our grandmother had this or used this.
So, let not store an item away but use it in our home décor. Either as a centerpiece like an old cabinet radio or to highlight a wall with an antique dressing table. Place your tv or media center in a large, upright dresser.
You can use old cookware on shelves in your kitchen. Maybe you have an old butter churn, scale, or coffee grinder you can set on a shelf and decorate around them. I have a shelf on old blue mason jars (one pink one) along with some glass insulators on a kitchen shelf.
Use old picture frames for the old family pictures you have. Map out your family tree on the wall.
Of course, an old piece of pottery or crock can be used as a small planter on a window sill. A piece of old stained glass can be hung by a window.
It is about breathing life in old things!
This is called “vivipary”. The seeds on the strawberry plant are sprouting using the strawberry fruit as a source of food and water. If you are patient, you can separate the little sprouts and plant them in a soil media and grow. While not common, it can occur in overripe stressed fruits.
