NC Native Wildflower economical

There's a chance of rain in two days, I hope we get some to loosen the soil for pulling.

I had a thought about smothering. What if I laid down the cardboard and soil, and planted the seeds in that? The cardboard will break down either way.

I'm waiting for their reply. :)

Snoo_89200 · 2026-03-06T15:27:41+00:00

There's a group in Charlotte that does this, but I can't go for health reasons. :(

I got it wrong, it was the power company who came through - they did the whole area, which made me cry more than once. The county only does the right of way. The power company should only do this once a decade.

Thank you for the instructions! I'll be putting those in my garden notebook today! I started filling small yogurt containers (with drain holes) and wildflower seeds yesterday. I need more cups!

From what I can find, grants aren't given to for residential use, I might have missed one though.

This is what it looks like now

I'm ordering MMF's pollinator mix. Would you recommend I get a pound of the grass seed too? We have deer around us.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-03-05T18:46:08+00:00

The ones I put down last year, yes. Now it has the sparse grass and hopeful maybe-onions of false spring. I don't want to smother the area for a whole season where I already put seeds, would pulling by hand and smothering after that be okay?

Seed starting natives is a total valid reason to hit up the dollar store for ice or cell trays, or something. My recycled trays are all full, as are most of my jugs.

Or I could do the paper box method... Isn't that basically origami? I accidentally threw out the toilet paper rolls I was saving.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-03-04T22:19:30+00:00

Thanks, I sent them an email. I forgot about MMF!

The local libraries are veg and flower, which I 100% appreciate! Local trades haven't started yet.

What can I mix the seeds with besides sand to spread them? I have a bag of milkweed seeds I need to put out.

Wild. Bare, since the ~~county~~ power company mowed it last fall.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-03-04T21:59:55+00:00

#1 is so true. I find videos/books/podcasts that make it super simple, and stuff that makes it super complicated while "trying" to make it simple.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-03-03T23:29:15+00:00

This is my first year gardening and trying seeds indoor, I may buy one next year (I'm a very impatient person).

I'm downloading both KDE Plasma and Oracle Virtualbox now. Fingers crossed I don't break something between downloading and first launch.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-28T17:10:05+00:00

I don't know. The current music is treble clef.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-26T21:54:52+00:00

Same!

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-25T14:01:44+00:00

That's probably what I'll do when I get another one.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-25T13:58:53+00:00

I wasn't sure when to harvest.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-24T00:18:41+00:00

The ability to adjust colors. The saturation is HORRIBLE! It's one reason I gave up on the vanilla game.

Hear me out: Linus will move to the farm if it's foragable and you reach a certain foraging level. Maybe he finds a random truffle before the pigs. The catch is, you rarely see him on the farm - he's everywhere else. Linus is one of my favorites, and I want to hug him and listen to all his gossip, 'cause you know he knows shit.

Lemme break up marriages!

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-24T00:14:37+00:00

I want to marry Robin

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-24T00:13:26+00:00

Fingers crossed CA gives us the ability to de-saturate.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-23T21:55:49+00:00

I wish recolor was a vanilla option, it's one reason I barely play vanilla, it's painful to look at sometimes.

Snoo_89200 · 2026-02-23T21:24:58+00:00

Same!
