3/16/2017 First Planting

3/9/2018

On Thursday 3/16/17 I planted my Cajun Pocket Prairie. I used a variety of seed from a local source and from Native American seed. The area I have planted is an old cattle and sheep pasture. It is near a gully(drainage stream). I know I have planted late but hopefully i can get some seeds to take and and lay some roots in the ground. I have been watering every day or so since it has been dry to get seeds to germinate. Hopefully in a few days some seed will start to germinate.

Either tonight or tommorow I will make a list of current seed planted. Along with progress of a wildflower garden my Fiancé and I are also working on.

Hooray!! I can't wait to see your progress. I think my initial seeds came from Native American Seed too. I went to a workshop and they gave us several packets.
Looking forward to checking out your plant list. 😁

Thank you! I hope they come up! I planted late! And now I'm getting worried that I maybe should have raked them in! I pressed them into the ground really well! Hopefully they take!

I think you did what you can do. The idea is good contact with the soil. I like to mix my seed with some potting soil to help with that. It also helps to see where I've seeded too.
I'm sure you're gonna see some of your seeds come up. Anything that doesn't may have needed cold stratification which you maybe able to get by seeding in November, if you get enough cold or you can use your fridge 😁 At any rate, it's your first year. Anything that comes up is 100% success and should be counted!!

Thanks! I will have to try that next season!

I'll be happy if I get a few plants! Which I would at least get some flowering plants!

I've been thinking about your project. Wondering how it's gone. Thought I'd check in. JD
