It's no secret, I love to plant seeds. Wildflowers are a favorite since they add so much color to the garden and attract beneficial insects and beautiful pollinators. Wondering what to plant in FALL?
Planting Time in Mild-Winter Areas
If you live in an area with minimal or no winter frosts (parts of California, Florida, southern Texas or parts of the South West) you can plant wildflowers any time, however, the hottest time of the year is not recommended. It is best to take advantage of the rains and plant in the fall when the rain begins.
Planting Time in Cold-Zones
If you live in snow zones or areas with bitter-cold winters, it is best to wait and plant in the spring or some even say you can plant in fall. The advantage of planting in the fall is you will see those blooms earlier than if spring planted. Fall Planting - Timing - best to wait until after a good hard frost. The seeds will not sprout until the spring when the soil has warmed up enough for germination.
Unless specifically buying a shade-loving mix, wildflowers like full sun. But they don’t like soggy, wet feet, so a good draining location is a must.
Give your pollinators a good food source and enjoy the long lasting blooms in your garden or backyard.
Just a few from our HUGE selection of pollinator-friendly varieties include
"Scientists concluded that an almond tree can compensate for the lack of nutrients and water in the short term by storing the nutrients and water in the fruits instead, but cannot compensate for insufficient pollination"
This was my first year growing garlic. I live in Western PA and the temperatures and weather have been erratic. Despite this, I had a great yield, no rotting with all of the rain, and enough to use as seed garlic this year. Tasty and robust to fluctuation weather conditions. Highly recommended.
Mary is one kind lady!
I asked if she would be willing to sell 300 of the non woven pouches without the coir (I already have what I need) and within 24 hours she sent me a link for exactly that.
This has been a lovely experience ordering from this company and I look forward to a wonderful growing season in the approaching year.
It brings me great satisfaction to be a patron of such a kind and gracious business! It's exciting, what might I find next...?
I say it over and over. Mary's Heirloom Seeds are the best at germination and growing! These purple beauty bell peppers are so abundant and tasty. My favorite bell and they seem to like my garden as well. Yes the picture has other of Mary's Heirloom Seeds peppers but these stand out in numbers and taste.
