I love the idea that my garden is waiting mysteriously underground. Just to be sure, I scatter seed here and there and run out every morning to see what is up today! Neat article.
Loved this article, because I learned this quite by chance one year, when my life intervened, and I couldn't do my usual rabid deadheading of the annuals in late summer/fall.
Great article, good job! This is exactly how I have gardened for years. When I tell people about seeing a blank area and laying a few seed heads there for next season,many don't seem to believe me! But it is very easy. As I walked through my yard yesterday, I saw millions of tiny seedlings already poking through. I get so many that come up that I do have to spend some time thinning out. But I enjoy that much more than digging and lugging flats home from HD!
louC i love "waiting mysteriously underground"--i never know what will come up since i don't seem good at planning and forget what i put where--i toss seeds and seed heads in different spots and i plant pretty much anything anyone is willing to share-- the strange thing is i always like what happens! more than if i had planned it out
three gardeners i like your style --it makes me feel better about my own!
I call myself lazy for just scattering seed but I'm really not. It is the thrill of watching the tiny seeds grow. Right now there is a really big plant in the middle of a new bed I had formed this winter. Only 1. It looks very familiar but I still don't know if it is weed or flower. Whatever it is, the foliage is interesting and if it blooms something pretty, I will adopt it.
