Here are Kathy Bildner’s tips on planting seeds:
- Plant seeds in the late fall or early winter.
- The seeds must over-winter in the ground.
- Cover with screen or rocks so the squirrels won’t dig them up.
- Label the site so you remember what and where you planted.
- If you plant the seeds in a pattern (circle, square, triangle, etc.), when they emerge in the spring, you will know what they are. Weed everything else away.
- Most native plants are perennial, and will not bloom until the 2nd year. They will come back year after year for you to enjoy.
