Planting a Wildflower Meadow...

So, all of the snow you saw in my previous post has just about melted already!... we went from blizzards and cold and cloudy skies to sunshine and warm temps today... tomorrow it is predicted to be almost 60 degrees... yippee!... so naturally, I am thinking about my gardens... the photo below is my wildflower meadow I planted at our little farmhouse we built that I posted about several years ago... it was a beautiful, wild profusion of blooms... each day something new and exciting appeared... if you look closely, you will see my birdbath in the center... it was a constant stopping place for all of my feathered friends who loved my wildflowers as much as I did... the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees were in seventh heaven there... it provided unlimited blooms to gather each day to place in pretty vases inside... as the seasons changed so did the flowers... constant blooms from early Spring well into Fall... (click to enlarge pic)...

This year, I shall plant a wildflower meadow once more... it will not be nearly as large as the one above as we simply do not have all of the room we had there... (almost an acre)... but it will be just as lovely... I always order my wildflower seeds from Vermont Wildflower Farm... I have found them to be the best and most beautiful... their wildflower mixes are just that, wildflowers... no fillers... if you are a Nature lover like me, you won't find a prettier place to stroll in the early morning hours, cup of coffee in hand, than your own wildflower meadow... a little bit of Heaven on earth... xoxo...
