Spent the day planting 3000 sq feet of nectar / pollen wild flowers for the bees, planting means seeds. Since our temps are diving down, hopefully staying down, put the seed out. Lots of scattering, raking to lightly cover the seeds with dirt.
The problem here it if our temps go back up, which can happen the seeds will sprout then our temps go down the sprouts will die. So I might need to reseed in the spring, then the problem would be if we don't get rain, we have had very dry springs, they won't sprout or do well. No easy way to water them. A fall planting gives them a two week growth advance over a spring planting.

Hard to know what to do in this transitional temperature zone, never know if we will get a real winter, or a fake one. When I was growing up here we did have real winters, ice, snow used to ice skate in our back yard, not anymore. Nothing like you guys up north get cold that stays.

lol I made the decision to put them out so now no worries, they make it or they don't, to many other things to take care of. I have more seed I can put out, rather keep it to fluff the wildflowers next winter i.e. add more.
