Last year I decided to buy two jumbo packs of Burpee seeds—one annuals and one herbs—and just throw them on a pile of dirt left over from hardscaping, just to disguise it.
Well, I got the best garden ever. Towering cosmos, oodles of marigolds, knockout zinnias, etc. The herbs were just as pretty—blue borage and purple basil; lavender chives and golden nasturtium.
The seed packets were five bucks apiece at K-Mart. Complete with layout designs and plant markers. Great for beginners.
This plot, at the back of my property, was prettier than the fussy formal gardens up front.
Isn’t that just the way it goes?
That sounds great.
I got my daughter a bunch of large packets of mixed wildflowers and let her put them wherever she wanted...........she scattered several packets around the base of the utility pole out front, it sure looked pretty, I hope she wants to do it again this year.
Thanks. My wife will be interested to hear that. She prefers the flowers. I told her she does the work, she can plant anything she wants. Your plan will make her smile.
