@@alanatolstad4824 it reminded me of roses my grandmother had along the creek. That is why I ordered that one. Robert is living my dream restoring that property and house.
One can never have too many wildflower, clover and suflower seeds!! 😊 Especially good stuff with all the clearing and burn off you have done. I hope they all grow good for you, Robert and you can enjoy them!👍👍❣️❣️
Yes, thank you for this lovely gift to Robert and the farm. All so good for the birds & insects. I had to look up the sunflowers and there are an enormous number native to Georgia, 27 different ones I think.
Your purple coneflower can be used to make a tea from the leaves and flowers. It is good for colds and flu symptoms. I started planting and using herbs that make healthy teas a couple years ago, and now have all kinds of herbs to make teas with that help with a variety of ailments. Many of the herbs make pretty flowers and ground cover as well.
All that clean up Robert did, and Sondra seeds the Bird Farm is going to just be beautiful this summer. Can't wait to see the beauty start growing. If your seeds need to freeze first to grow, put them in your freezer for a day or two and then spread.
I just took a class on Mason Bees and learning that native pollinating flowers are the very best for these gentle pollinators had me ordering a massive seed haul! Now I can do successive planting for all types of pollinators including butterflies! What a fun project with a purpose! Your collection is wonderful!
Robert I really enjoy the progress you've made on the farm. It's absolutely amazing the changes within the last 2 years. Lots of hard work has paid off. Lookin' forward to future improvements with the home and surrounding property! ❤🎉
Wow Robert, you have plenty of seeds to plant. I’m hoping all of them come up too. There was some seeds I never heard of but I’m sure they’ll be pretty. Here I in Florida we don’t have much of a choice as what to grow except Zinnias n Cosmos. I’m a flower lover n it’s so disappointing when I can’t grow certain plants. It just gets to hot here for so many. I can grow baby breaths here though n they do well. Good luck my friend in your seed planting. Hope the rain comes soon. ♥️😊👍🌟🌟🐶
Hopefully, the birds doesn't eat them all 😮 l love flowers.😊 it's exciting l can't hardly wait to see them blooming, thank you for sharing from an old grandma and great Grandma from Canada
Its hopefully going to be gorgeous this Summer with all those blooms! Indian Paintbrush is one of my favorites! Another gorgeous flower to plant next to the house would be Gardenias & Daffodils. 😊
Sounds wonderful !! What a great mixture....will be beautiful !! Sure hope the wisteria doesn't come back & take over all the wild flowers. A neighbor of mine broadcast a mixture of wild flowers and they are beautiful & thicker every year. He just takes the weed Wacker & cuts them back to the ground in the fall & they grow up in the spring bigger & better !! Happy sowing !!
Hi Robert. Blue was helping pay the seeds on the ground as he walked back and forth. I have a part of my back yard that won’t grow grass so I am going to get some wild flower seeds and see what happens. You have inspired me😊😊😊
Cant wait to see them all blooming. I was giggling to myself, you reminded me of my gma and how she used to pitch the feed to the chickens :) Hi to Blue? or is it Baloo?
nice to get the native plants back over the invasive type that has been on the property. good luck with the germination of the seeds. hope you get a good yield.
I grew up in Northern Vermont. Indian paint brush was a favorite of mine. Our fields were just loaded with them. Along with Milkweeds and Dandelions. And, yes we eat milkweed and dandelion greens with frogs legs.. lol
Native Wild Flowers are awesome. We get the Indian Paint Brush too. I wonder if Blue Bonnets will Bloom over there? You do have a great selection there.
Purple Coneflower is a perennial and should come back every year. You may regret planting the wild garlic, it reseeds itself prolifically. I like seeing it though, the curled stems are pretty. I hope everything you planted comes up and does great. I love flowers and there's nothing prettier to me than a wildflower meadow.
Hopefully you will get some of the Flowers after the Birds get done but what you do get will be awesome Flowers on everything. My wish is that you get lots of Beauitful Flowers.
Hi Robert, sunflowers are native to North America, but commercialization took place in Russia. So something good came from place. I didn't know I Google it just for you.😅😅
Maybe get a bunch of peat moss bales to cover the area after throwing out the seeds?? Broadcast it over the area… less for the birds to see 😂… love the pasture
Native to Georgia is the beautiful impatiens capensis (aka jewelweed). It would be great in your shaded boggy area. It can grow five to six feet tall, but being tuberous, is an annual that will die back to the ground so will not impede future development of the land.
I just left one comment, and forgot to mention. If you are planting several seeds in the same area, mix them all together and sow them all together instead of just one packet at a time in the same area.
this is going to be interesting to see the results later. If I spread that much seed, it would be gone in a minute with the house sparrows eating them and the chipmunks.
Don’t be silly, huge difference between a native wildflower and invasive wisteria. Besides a big goal is removing invasives and restoring a native eco system. So I’m crossing my fingers they grow wild
I love wild flowers but I would never plant white snake root . Here in Illinois it grown in abundance. It is also deadly to horses and cows . I hope it doesn't spread to the neighboring farm who have horses
@Sondra Davidson I truly hope it is different species and is ok, but it has the same kind of flower. An old timer told me about it and sure enough, a neighbor lost a horse to it .
Remember these for when they’re blooming 👀 We had great success last year

I so enjoy sending him things and supporting him when I can. He is a hard worker and the most appreciative. A rarity in this times.

Cleavers, red clover, spring beauties, faeries, hawthorn, etc. Love them! You done good with what you've sent. Wonderful
Such a wonderful kind gesture . Nothing more beautiful the the native flowers in full bloom.
😁🌻🌼🌸💮🏵👍So many flowers, so little time. Can't wait to see the blooms!! Thanks Sondra have a lovely spring!!
The milkweed should bring monarch butterflies to The Old Byrd Farm.
Can’t wait to see these bloom! 🇨🇦❤️

My grandmother used to mix all the seeds up together. Then she would have us run around and scatter the seeds. It gave a beautiful rainbow of flowers.
You will have a very colorful yard. Can't wait to see it.
My grandfather would sow Bluebonnet seeds in his pasture and it was beautiful when they bloomed. A field of blue.
Blue bonnets & Indian paint brush on the side of the roads in the hill country of Texas 🥰
Something for your future plantings, if the seeds are tiny, mix them with some sand or loose soil. Makes them easier to broadcast more evenly.
Robert I really enjoy the progress you've made on the farm. It's absolutely amazing the changes within the last 2 years. Lots of hard work has paid off. Lookin' forward to future improvements with the home and surrounding property! ❤🎉
Can't wait to see these seeds grow. You can never have too many native flowers and plants
I can not wait to see all the beautiful flowers.
Love Sandra's choices & I'm not even a local :)
Thistle is the great pollinator, and the great plant of Ireland, and Byrd is the great English name....so befitting of the Old Byrd Farm🐾🦊🐺
Good luck Robert ! Can't wait to see the flowers!
Looking forward to seeing the wildflowers. Thanks Sondra
Its great for the local wildlife to encourage native plants. 😘👌👍👍

Awesome 😊 love this method of curing the ground.
The paintbrush grows with the bluebonnet up here in North Texas. THEY ARE BOTH gorgeous right now. Just starting to pop up all over this area.

good luck with the germination of the seeds. hope you get a good yield.
Flowers will be pretty…love your dog
I love how you promote natives. Keep up the good work!
Love all your songbirds! We don't have them in Washington state, at least in this part of the state (SW).
I love that is going to look so natural with you putting them out
May the Lord bless and protect you and wild seed planting of flowers
back in Ohio for late planting they would put the seeds in the fridge for a couple hours to fake the seeds out.
I can't wait to see them all blooming!
Thank you to Sondra for the seeds for the old byrd farm, and sure hope they make it and you can see some of them blooming as well..
Great project. The farm is living again.
I grew up in Northern Vermont. Indian paint brush was a favorite of mine. Our fields were just loaded with them. Along with Milkweeds and Dandelions. And, yes we eat milkweed and dandelion greens with frogs legs.. lol
Can't wait to see when to come up and bloom.🎉
Native Wild Flowers are awesome. We get the Indian Paint Brush too. I wonder if Blue Bonnets will Bloom over there? You do have a great selection there.
Hope you all are ok after the tornado in Troup county hit ! My ancestors were in heard and troup county, Ga. and Randolph county, Alabama !
All well!
Purple Coneflower is a perennial and should come back every year. You may regret planting the wild garlic, it reseeds itself prolifically. I like seeing it though, the curled stems are pretty.

Good ole Ballew is keeping an eye on everything.

Love coreopsis because it blooms all summer long
This was fun! I looked up several of those unfamiliar names.
Can’t wait to see the blooms
It is going to be soooo pretty😊❤❤❤❤❤
I can't wait to see what grows!
Great planting all over the farm! Will you remember where you put them? Maybe a marker flag or something.
Can hardly wait fit the flowers to bloom.
I would mix them all up in a pail then seed them
Robert 'Johnny' Appleseed planting his flowers. lol
They’ll look beautiful when they bloom.
Good luck on the seeds
Can’t wait to see what happens!!!🥳🥳
Hi Robert, sunflowers are native to North America, but commercialization took place in Russia. So something good came from place. I didn't know I Google it just for you.😅😅
I hope your seeding takes and attracts pollinators, birds, and insects.
Robert.. Thistle..it may take over! But it is good for tea.
Maybe get a bunch of peat moss bales to cover the area after throwing out the seeds?? Broadcast it over the area… less for the birds to see 😂… love the pasture

Maybe plant a weeping willow tree in the swampy area they like to soak up lots of water.
Butterfly weed spreads easily , after blooms pods grow when open they spread , my experience with them anyway
When will you be restoring the old house?
Maybe the honey bees will visit one all these flowers have bloomed.
Wander if you could test that water to know if it is okay for Blue or not, just to ease your mind
No better way to spend a birthday than ordering seeds! 🥀🌿One note on the wild garlic - it may be invasive and as hard to get rid of as the wisteria.
good luck!
Fore cold put the seeds in the freezer for a couple days.

Some host plants for Indian Paintbrush are Little Bluestem, Penstemons, a/k/a beardtongue, and Blue-Eyed Grass, which an iris, not a grass.
What does a host plant provide?
I've been looking for some honey suckle seeds.

You need a smll hay rake
You are jumping from the firepan into the fire. These wild flowers will spread like wildfire. You haven't had enough of clearing plants gone wild?
Don’t be silly, huge difference between a native wildflower and invasive wisteria. Besides a big goal is removing invasives and restoring a native eco system. So I’m crossing my fingers they grow wild
He’s an adult, not all plants are perennials.
I love wild flowers but I would never plant white snake root . Here in Illinois it grown in abundance. It is also deadly to horses and cows . I hope it doesn't spread to the neighboring farm who have horses
Wow, I wish I had known that. I did not read that on the site or elsewhere.
@Sondra Davidson I truly hope it is different species and is ok, but it has the same kind of flower. An old timer told me about it and sure enough, a neighbor lost a horse to it .
@@rubylewis2208 me too!! You'd think it would come with a warning on the package too if it is dangerous.
That's good u. An get whAt she sends u
Anything that doesn’t come up this year may show up next year.
I hope your chickens don't eat your seeds before they can grow.
I wouldn't plant wild garlic it worst the weisteria
Not possible
