I see your vision - and it will be beautiful with loose natural color added. My advice is to just keep spreading seed out, preferably of plants native to your area. That's what I keep doing, hoping something will eventually take. One thing I did last year was to gather seeds of roadside plants and toss them out at about the same time (in a rain so they got kind of hammered into the ground and got some water) - I figured that's when they normally would drop to the ground. Crossing fingers.
Arlene, I too am hoping I have seedlings that are just below the grasses and are hopefully gathering strength to pop up.
