accomplished* Finish at least two catalog orders for spring plants by the end of February.
The second order, which went out yesterday, is from Prairie Moon Nursery. This place specializes in native species for grassland, savanna, or woodland. They sell seeds, bare roots, and plants.
If you are bored with ordinary plants, and want more of a challenge, here it is. A 2-page spread describes the sometimes elaborate methods required to sprout some of these seeds. There's a code for "plant directly in spring" and another for "plant directly in fall" but most of them relate to periods of dormancy or tricks to wake up seeds that would prefer to keep sleeping. Wildflower seeds will come out if and when they damn well please. In particular, I call your attention to the question mark code. That means nobody has really discovered a consistent method for sprouting those seeds. The staff would love to hear if you discover how. Mad science gardening, why the fuck not.
I am reminded of a friend's remark from college: "We have yet to replicate these results without a Druid."
