In this episode, Liz discusses her wildflower patch and the process of planting and maintaining it. She shares her personal experience and tips for preparing the soil, choosing the right seeds, and dealing with weeds. Liz also mentions the importance of regular maintenance and the transition from annuals to perennials in the patch.

Takeaways

  • Preparing the soil and removing weeds and debris is crucial before planting a wildflower patch.
  • Choosing the right seeds for your climate and soil type is important for successful growth.
  • Regular watering in the initial weeks is crucial for seed germination.
  • Maintaining the patch and controlling weeds is necessary to prevent them from taking over.
  • The patch will evolve over time, with annuals going to seed and perennials becoming more dominant.
  • Consider seeking support and grants from programs like the CSP for larger-scale wildflower projects.
