Spring is fast approaching here & I have been getting out & doing a bit each day. It's been raining a lot & everything is moist. Once summer hits.... forget the moist. I haven't posted here on the wildflower forum before. So we have 6 acres & I want nothing more than tons & tons of wildflowers all over it. Easier said than done & since I refuse to use toxic stuff to kill the "grass" & such then it can be hard to get wildflowers going. I had an epiphany. Those drated pocket gophers who like to run around making mounds of dirt all over the place have inadvertently helped me with the wildflower issue. I had ordered gobs of wildflower seeds for the south. Those nice mounds of dirt are getting knocked down by me & my trowel & it makes a perfect place for planting wildflower seeds. Nice moist soil for a while yet before the summer sets in so they should germinate well. Highs in the lower 70's pretty much so I think we're ready to go! I hope this works. If it does, there will be "spots" of wildflowers spread out all over the place. Gee, I'm almost wishing now that those gophers would make a whole bunch more mounds of dirt!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
