birdfeedingThe first of my seed orders for spring planting got finished today. Remember, anything that attracts insects will also attract insect-eating birds. Invertebrates form the base of the animal food web. Also, both of these companies offer a wide range of products for different locations and purposes, for those of you in other areas.
From OPN Seed:
Bee Lawn Mix
Our Bee Lawn Mix is for homeowners that want to plant an eco-friendly lawn alternative, but have height restrictions that would prevent them from planting some of our taller seed mixes. Whether it be urban or suburban, this mix of fescues, clovers and low growing, bee friendly flowers provide foraging, habitat and color to your landscape. Plant it in areas that receive at least 4 hours of sunlight a day.
(I tried this last year and really liked it for patching bare spots in the lawn.)
20th Anniversary Prairie Native Seed Mix
2018 marked our 20th year in business and we created our 20th Anniversary Prairie Seed Mix to celebrate. Fast forward to 2022 where we've freshened the mix up a bit to keep things fun and exciting! This mix will need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day and the finished height of this mix will be between 3 to 6 feet tall. Performs best when planted in well-drained soils.
From American Meadows:
Monarch Butterfly Wildflower Seed Mix
The Monarch Butterfly Wildflower Mix is an easy-to-grow compilation of 27 wildflowers that will thrive in any sunny location throughout the US. Including 4 different types of Milkweed to ensure Monarchs have plenty of host plants to lay their eggs on, this mix also contains a variety of nectar-rich wildflowers for energizing monarch populations before they migrate. A blend of annuals and perennials provide early and lasting color. This is your go-to mixture for creating an official Monarch Waystation or simply helping out the local pollinators in your area.
(I tried this last year and just loved it. Although optimized for monarchs, it also serves bees and birds.)

A complementary color palette of pinks, reds, blues, and golds will brighten up any part-shade garden or meadow for many seasons to come.

This mix contains 100% pure, non-GMO and neonicotinoid-free seeds, and is guaranteed to grow.
