We’re going to plant native grasses and wildflowers on Skunk Hill next year. In preparation for that I tilled up about 3/4’s of an acre today. I plan to frost seed it next year in February or March, whenever it starts to freeze at night and thaw during the day.
That’s not really the recommended time to seed native grasses and forbs, but our district conservationist says she’s seen good results with frost seeding, so we’re going to try it.
If it works out we’ll add to the native plantings in successive years.
Does the latter photo look like Christina’s World to you? It did to me when I looked at the photo, but I don’t see it like that when I look at my house day-to-day. I tried to get Debbie to go out and pose on the grass for me to complete the picture, but she was having none of it, since it was about 25 degrees outside.
