weeds were removed by hand, the area roto-tilled and then smoothed into a planting bed. \u00a0A mixture of sunflowers, zinnias, marigolds and a pollinator mix were seeded. \u00a0We got lucky with the weather and have had warm rainy days. \u00a0Looks like most of the seeds are germinating just fine. \u00a0Just have to keep the dogs and people from walking through until the patch\u00a0gets
