GROWING WILDFLOWERS October is a prime time for planting wildflower seeds in the garden. The mild temperatures of fall allow the seeds to germinate, develop a good root system, and then go dormant until spring. Here are a few basic pointers for preparing your wildflower bed: Select an area that drains well, but doesn’t have overly rich soil. Remove any existing vegetation. Rake the soil only to a depth of about an inch. Mix one part wildflower seeds with four parts sand. Broadcast the seeds over the new bed, first one way, then the other (i.e., north-south, then east-west). Walk over the bed to press the seed into the soil, but do not cover the seeds more than 1/16?. Water lightly and frequently if you don’t get adequate rain through the autumn. In most cases, the less fuss you make
