We planted a patch for the pollinators on May 27th. This area was previously in grass and weeds so it took a while to get into shape. Large weeds were removed by hand, the area roto-tilled and then smoothed into a planting bed. A mixture of sunflowers, zinnias, marigolds and a pollinator mix were seeded. We got lucky with the weather and have had warm rainy days. Looks like most of the seeds are germinating just fine. Just have to keep the dogs and people from walking through until the patch gets established!
