Kitty: " I help."

This is so beautiful! Almost nostalgic to me of my childhood with flowers growing along our picket fence in front of our two story farm house. We would get all kinds of bees and butterflies. Going to probably do this again but also want to plant some milkweed, it’s been YEARS since I’ve seen a monarch butterfly; I recently found out that they’re now on the endangered species list. Makes me sad. Have to save our wildlife people. I remember when I was little we would have monarch butterflies by the hundreds! I use to catch them with my butterfly net my mom got me and would be very gentle and let them go, even had a monarch butterfly caterpillar cage where you could take care of them and watch them eat and grow and become beautiful butterflies and I’d set them all free in our flower gardens. 🐝 🦋 🌸

Your kitty was making sure you did a good job with your seeding :) When did you plant them? I did this one year out back but without being able to water regularly they struggled really taking off as thick as I would have hoped. Your's turned out great!

@ThisOhioFarmhouse

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, LOL, our kitties are always there to “help” us out :) I am pretty sure we planted it sometime in May. I think the secret to our success was watering them on a regular basis until they got established. I am curious to see how they look next spring, if they come up as thick and healthy. We love the poppies! We have never grown them before but they are so cool! BTW Enjoyed your canning video using the one brine to rule them all!

That seed shaker is a good idea, my only issue comes when you have a variation in seed size. I want to mix a Monarch friendly variety with Black Eyed Susan which are very small. Almost think I’ll need two different shakers. I see your cat was helping tamp down the seeds!

@ThisOhioFarmhouse

2 жыл бұрын

If you are planting just a couple types of flowers with very different seed sizes I think making a couple different seed shakers would be fine. However, I think this issue is resolved by having a seed mix that has the proper seed portions and holes that allow the largest seeds to pass through. Think of it like salt and pepper. They can have their own shakers for more control, but you can also mix them together in the right ratio in the same shaker. You can experiment by testing your shaker over a sheet of paper until it looks like what you want. Good luck to you 😃

I don’t remember exactly when we planted the seed mixture, but it was fairly early and probably not far off from when you planted in April. This video was created in August so it took 3+ months for the whole process. We did pay special attention to watering this area also. Differences in soil, local weather and seed mix will play a part as well. I will say that our wildflowers bloomed much sooner this year. We have been enjoying them since May! They came back just as strong. We will need to do some selective weeding in a few areas and we plan to plant another 1,000 square feet area and expand into other areas. It is our favorite part of the yard😀

They are perennials and will mostly return each spring. So far we are seeing some varieties come back stronger than others but they have always come back. It only takes a couple of months, with consistent watering, to get them established and you will start seeing the blooms increase in the weeks following depending on your local conditions.

Spring and fall are the beat times to plant the seeds. If you plant in spring, you can plant when the soil is able to be cultivated and you have consistent days above freezing. Wildflower seeds will grow when the conditions are right for them and won’t be bothered by the cold. This is how they survive in nature. Just be sure to keep the ground watered until they germinate.

Depends if you have just soil or if there is grass or plant life. Soil, a landscape rake could loosen up the top enough to plant. You could mix in some good compost if you have it available and just break the surface of the soil open and mix in the compost with a rake. If there is anything growing that will all need to be removed first by either pulling or using cardboard to kill it off. You can check out my other video “From Grass to Garden” to see how to do that successfully. Good luck!
