Notes*
Texas Bluebonnets may need to be sown earlier in the fall/winter season to establish in time for spring bloom. Stomping on your seeds or scarifying them can also help with germination. But the biggest factor for a good bluebonnet bloom is PRECIPITATION. So if conditions are dry, consider supplementing with hand watering to help them get established!

Vanessa so glad I found you, have been looking for someone in central Texas!

Sweet Alyssum attracts hormworm predators. Planted it near my tomatoes last year, and I didn’t have a single hornworm 😊

I love Native American Seed! Ordering their shade grass for our yard to replace our dead St. Augustine. Going to order more of the wildflowers too!

[StarGaiz]

Yay for TX-centric gardening info!
I saw this was shot "early January" - Do you think it is too late to direct sow spring wildflower seeds in east TX (pine woods region 8b) now that it's closer to "late January"? We woke up to 20-something degrees today (1/17), and the next 10 days fluctuates between 20-63 degrees here.

Love the comment about your dog running the fence line to bark at nothing. Made me laugh out loud cause i just spent the morning garden planning and taking that into consideration myself. 😂 Also really appreciate your content cause I’m in texas and have only been gardening for a year so thank you!!

Careful with Illinois bundleflower. It gets very weedy, and I regret including it with my Wildflower mix.

[rosemary]

I love Native American seeds! I planted firewheel, bluebonnets, Greg's mist and a shade friendly mix this year.

I'm going to have to look at the seed company you talked about because I'm trying to make my how front yard a native flower yard, down here in Converse. My HOA won't be able to say anything. Lol. Plus, I just want those flowers AND the pollinators for my garden.

I planted a wildflower mix last March and by mid May it was covered with flowers. So beautiful! It still has blooms now although most are dying off ready to reseed for next spring.

[alexiere]

Oh is it a good time? thank you! I wanted to plant some for hummingbirds and bees. I'm from Texas as well, so I'm going to go for it.

I broadcasted a native Texas/OK wildflower mix yesterday morning on my ranch property in the panhandle. Added in some chicory & crimson clover as well. Fingers crossed to see results this spring. Wanting to help pollinators & draw other insects for the diverse bird population. I’m sure the deer will forage it as well.

I’m new to Houston, and I didn’t think we could grow poppies here! I’m so excited to throw all my old poppy packets out into the dirt and see if they’re still viable lol

[MamsirMamsir]

So glad I found your channel! I have been waiting for a channel like yours!

[wendymontie]

Thanks for this! I’ll hit one of the small nurseries that I know carry the NASC offerings.

The other day, I went through my BI water-wise packet to identify what was what, so I could remove some of the ones I don’t want. Last year, I had tossed an assortment envelope in an be admittedly too-small (I missed the ‘sq ft’ portion) bed, and it was so overcrowded! Plus some plants I realized I didn’t want. Came up awesomely, but it was chaos. 🤣

[ThatBritishHomestead]

Such a different climate to us! But it's so interesting to me to see what people are doing... why I'll never garden there but if I had to I could lol 😅

[Lolololoriful]

Oh my god I’m buying seeds TOMORROW! I live in a little townhome with public space in the back yard that no one really takes care of or trims. I’m so gonna sow some environment enhancing flowers 💐

[kaitpreston]

"In order to bark....at nothing"😂 same pup....same

[ryleesblooms]

Stevia! Dude I unalived that plant not once but twice. That’s a really neat seed company I’ll have to purchase some for my texas fam
