With only a few simple, but important steps you won't want to miss, you will have beautiful wildflowers in the spring and summer. It's easy to sow wildflower seed with success! Poppies, milkweed, mixes are all great wildflowers that can be planted in the garden, meadows or open flower beds.

I want to plant wildflowers. Going to come over and see what seeds you have.

[@Alisorganics]

Going to have to come sprinkle seed all over the bank! Wouldn’t that be pretty? 😃

Is it me or does she look like Lucinda from 2023 MAFS?

I have a lot of birds in the Neighborhood. I need to cover the seeds lightly so that the birds don’t eat my seeds.😮😮😮

[@Alisorganics]

I hear that! We have lots of wild birds as well. I absolutely have to cover my peas till they are about 8-10” tall or they eat every tiny bit of growth.

How can I tell if my wild flowers are sprouting or if it’s new weeds coming through? I’ve had this issue in the past. So many of my neighbors let their weeds mature and go to seed and I feel like I’m in a uphill battle trying to not let them seed in my yard 😭

Poppies are pretty easy to tell when they come up. They just look different than weeds. Some other wild flowers can be tricky. over time you start to learn the way the new baby plants look. I know what you mean with weed seeds moving in.
