Gardening

I do quite a bit of this work and run a nonprofit organization that helps people work with native flora. I'd love to know what you are doing and help in any way we can.

Your best bet is kill the whole area off by an herbicide or plastic and start over next May or June.

I should have added that I'm in northern Alabama, USDA zone 8a, and planted mixtures of wildfower seeds appropriate for my zone which were purchased from American Meadows.

I'm a rank novice at anything that grows in dirt, and am really just looking for low maintenance ways to make my yard look better while being a little bit socially conscious and help out local pollinators.

Last year I had waited for grass to green up (in mid March as I recall), sprayed with herbicide, waited two weeks and sprayed again, then waited another two weeks to till in some compost and plant.

Did I jump the gun on planting? Given my location does the advice for planting in May or June still hold?
