Potting seeds yesterday, I was amazed by how small many of the seeds were. The native seeds especially. Species like: Pennstemon, Pennstemon digitalis, Wild Raspberry, Rubus odoratus, and New Jersey Tea, Ceanothus americana, were really small!
Many of the smallest seeds asked to be planted on top of the soil. No covering at all. And left outside to experience “winter” conditions.
The potential solution to all these native plants is to see what grows. I covered several others with sand—as the instructions say. I’m also going to see which plants will tolerate not being watered regularly. Stay tuned!
