I have been a bit sad that I couldn't get the one side I am working on cleared of rocks so I can get more soil in and then plant perennials for hummingbirds and butterflies in time. I am getting more work done, but mid September til now is the time to plant.
I was looking around the internet a couple days ago for gardening information and I bumped into this article which is a game changer for me haha. Planting your flower seeds in the ground during fall and winter-to come up in the spring. Information here
How nifty is this?? Have any of you tried it? There are some really good sellers on Ebay with good prices for seeds, so I just bought several, and the seller Mother Natures Seeds gives you a free packet when you buy 4 So I have several coming in. October is usually pretty nice here where I live so hoping I will have time to get things ready-more rocks need to be moved.
I had thought of growing flowers from seed in my plastic gallon water jugs (those are the best way for growing seeds into plants-mini greenhouses), but I don't always have good success with flowers and herbs for some reason.
So I am excited about this, just never thought about planting flower seeds this way before.
We had an interesting sky this morning. A little steam came up off the lake too with the differences in water and air temperatures.
We never know what might be floating down the lake when we look out our windows--This is one very large dock getting moved
This morning looking up in those trees for the eagle(s) which we haven't seen for awhile-we saw this surprise instead
Happy weekend!!
