I decided today was the day. The recommendations of planting was wait until there was no more threat of severe frost, warmer days starting off around 10C (50F). Our PNW forecast has some rain tomorrow and then a stretch of longer warmer days!

First I lightly dusted the seeds (approximately 10,000) with flour so that I could see where they fell. I really thought that was going to be over kill, but then at the last minute I decided to start off about 2 ft in from the eastern most side.

As for the planting, I read that you should make furrows North to South and broadcast your seeds. As this is a semi wild flower I could not imagine planting them in neat rows- but what do I know? I am an anti-gardener. Once spread out, rake West to East, and gently cover them. This also helped to even out my scattering. The wind picked up as I was sowing my seeds and some clumped together as they fell.

My seed babies are in the ground and I am now terrified!
