I'm hoping to make a bigger dent in the natives to non-native ratio. Things seem to get lost in the expanse if they are not in large enough groups.<br /><br />Good luck with direct seeding. I'm sorry you've not had better luck. In general, I'd say planting them in pots ensures greater success than just scattering them around...however, isn't that what nature does?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531776890396557061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624649637319435773.post-12748019599737707412012-12-09T16:17:11.593-05:002012-12-09T16:17:11.593-05:00I hope you have better luck with your seed than I ...I hope you have better luck with your seed than I had with mine. This year, I'm just scattering it around outside and hoping for the best.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427233029876545786noreply@blogger.com
