We let some of our arugula plants go to seed, which means we left them in the ground long enough for them to produce flowers, which were fertilized, and turned into seed pods. When these seed pods mature and dry out, we'll collect the seeds so we don't have to buy arugula seeds next year.
At the end of 2013's growing season, we had to dig up our strawberry plants and move them to pots, where they spent the winter. This spring when we transplanted them, only three leaves survived out of five plants. Those three leaves have started to show signs of life, sending out runners that will become new strawberry plants. This means we have a good chance of a nice crop of berries next year.
