Do You Dream of a Natural and Beautiful Wildflower Meadow?
I do. In August, my new project was to find California native seeds in a large enough quantity at an affordable price, get rid of the weeds and get my meadow. On my local garden blog are photos and a description of the beginnings.
The meadow is now in it's third year and going strong. I've learned a lot and can pass on what I can to you. You can have a dreamy meadow!
August is the time to plan where you'll have your meadow, then time to get rid of weeds! ~~ Sue
