I wish I could get the Texas bluebonnets to grow here, but I've never had any luck with them in Virginia. I've decided to try my hand at fall sowing this year of annuals. :)Racquelhttp://perennialgardener.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-28599340032750938162010-08-17T05:48:56.863-07:002010-08-17T05:48:56.863-07:00JJ--I know--it's so exciting!!!

So...I just rake the dirt with a iron rake and scatter the seeds, then rake over with a regular hoe, then sprinkle water in. The seeds are small, so you have to be careful not to wash them away. Here in Texas, wildflowers will grow in just about any soil. I have clay and at one time added peat moss to the bed they are in, but that was a long time ago. I now know how to amend clay soil, but hate to distrub the seeds from this year to do that, so I just leave it as is. Wildflowers also need good drainage, so a raised bed helps, which is what I did. I love wildlflowers. They don't seem to mind the heat and drought conditions, although you must water them at the beginning. Find out the best flowers for your area and start with them. Do you grow cosmos? I bet they grow there and I have seeds if you want some. Let me know what you find out and I will see if I have any seeds I could send you! :)Meadowview Thymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867494627331444375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-17837691536700616552010-08-17T05:30:37.139-07:002010-08-17T05:30:37.139-07:00Do you do anything to prepare your soil before pla...Do you do anything to prepare your soil before planting the seeds?

(I have to chill them 6 weeks before planting) And I am starting to collect seeds from exsisting plants right now too.
