Wildflower establishment requires some important steps:

Seeding: You will want to have good seed to soil contact, broadcasting by hand is a good approach on small plot, may want to mix with an inert carrier, sand or other. Raking in and covering with soil 2-3 times seed thickness.

Watering: During establishment for the first month, can be from rain in spring or supplement with irrigation. 💦

Timing: The best time to plant is in spring to early summer and even again in late fall.

Pretty amazing assortment to get you started on your very own wildflower garden.

If you plant it, they will come! 🐝🦋

It’s a little too soon for Speed Weeks 🏁 in Daytona so it “must be “Seed Weeks”! 🤪

If you are following this blog, then you will see it’s already time to transplant the seeds that were just in baggies!

“Recycling” the days trash into useful vessels

What a difference a few days makes. Shhh, had to eat all the Krispy Kreme donuts to put the box to good use! Oatmeal box, egg crate, toilet rolls, dog food box; etc!

“Recycling” all in a days work as well!

Lettuce

The Lettuce and Calabrese Broccoli actually sprouted in 2 days and grew quite fast. I had to use a skewer stick to push roots down further into soil. Tomorrow they’ll be jumping out to the garden by themselves!
