Wild Gardening

I’ve been wildly gardening and gardening wildly recently. Last fall I ordered some native wildflower seeds. As with many wildflowers they require a period of cold, so following the instructions that came with the seeds I put them in pots and set them out for the winter.

Looks like the snow kept them warm and toasty.

Today I decided to plant some. They are still tiny, but I wanted to experiment, so I put some, but not all, in the ground in a prepared area. I had previously killed the weeds by smothering but since there was a lot of goldenrod in the area previously I decided I’d better dig out those roots. It didn’t take long and the soil looked fantastic.
