daughters ramps and silks

the new york import wild strawberries are producing daughter plants beyond my expectations ( even though i have grown strawberries before and knew their reproductive vigor )...the daughter plant i pegged in a buried flowerpot ( first photo ) has taken root and is leafing out well..i will be moving it to the bed with the transplanted daughter i put there ten days ago ( second photo 0 it is doing well and the daughter it in turn has produced ( third ) is taking root as well...the population is growing well...i got twenty more ramps yesterday ( fourth )...some large ( fifth ) and some smaller ( sixth ) i put them in a temporary spot in the ramp bed until the seeds are all in...my plan is to remove the ramps, turn, aerate, and compost the soil, and replant..i am aiming for more plants and will be seeding the bed with some of the hundreds of seeds i have recovered so far...finally, you didn't think you could avoid photos of teosinte silks did you?
