Wild Flowers!

Have you ever considered growing wildflowers in your garden? Not only are they beautiful to look at, but they're also incredibly easy to grow. Plus, they can attract all sorts of beneficial insects and pollinators to your yard.

One of the best things about wildflowers is that they're incredibly resilient. They can grow in all sorts of different soil types, and they don't require a lot of maintenance. In fact, many species of wildflowers actually prefer to be left alone! 

If you're interested in growing wildflowers, the first step is to choose the right species for your area. You'll want to select plants that are native to your region, as these will be best suited to your climate and soil conditions. You can find a list of native wildflowers online or at your local nursery. 

Once you've selected your plants, it's time to prepare your garden bed. Wildflowers prefer soil that's well-draining and low in nutrients. You can amend your soil with compost or sand to improve drainage, but be careful not to add too much fertilizer. 

When it's time to plant, simply scatter your seeds over the prepared soil and lightly rake them in. Water the seeds gently, and then sit back and wait for them to grow! Depending on the species, it may take several weeks or even months for your wildflowers to bloom, but trust us - it's worth the wait. 

I found this great blog that has lots of helpful information about growing different types of wildflowers, check it out!

Here is my old garden bed, I'm hoping for some pretty wildflowers!

I just recently decided to turn an only garden bed that I have into a wildflower garden. I had some old seeds and thought it would be a great addition to my yard. Give it a try!
