Had an atypical day; temperature was up to 70 degrees (F); it was cold before today and will be cold after; perfect day for a December planting of bee-friendly prairie flowers.
We planted about 2000 square feet of:
- West Virginia Beekeepers Seed Mix
- Ohio Pollinator Oasis Seed Mix
- Lemon Mint
- Sky Blue Aster
- Sneezeweed (Helen’s Flower)
- Blue False Indigo
- Partridge Pea
www.ohioprairienursery.com is where I sourced all the seeds; easy to navigate site, fast delivery.
I’ll take pictures in the Spring; they say it could take 2 seasons before the prairie really takes off; we shall see.
Man, I’m going to be sore tomorrow (lots of raking ground today)…
