    Beautiful mix of native California flower seeds! My only request would be to make a southern California mix that excludes flowers not native to the south.

    I put some seeds in a raised bed in December, and then added more in January. The rains came, and the plants sprouted, and grew easily. Different varieties kept blooming from February to June. It was beautiful, fragrant and the pollinator insects just loved them.

    We sowed these seeds very late in the season (mid-April 2024, San Diego zone 10b) in our very first Birdies raised bed, but luckily many of them germinated within 5 days and I've counted at least 7 species so far.

    I didn't thin out the seedlings as early as I should have, but once I thinned them out the remaining seedlings have started growing very quickly. I may have waited too long for them to flower before summer kicks in, so next year I'll definitely make sure to thin them out earlier.

    For SoCal growers: I asked our local nursery what soil to put into a raised bed for CA wildflower seeds, and they recommended a 2:1 ratio of cactus/succulent to topsoil/potting soil. We went with Dr. Earth for both because they had peat-free options. We also filled the bed in a hugelkultur style - thanks EG for teaching us what that is and helping us feel confident!

    Would love to see more native seed options for specific states. EG could help so many growers responsibly restore habitats and that would be amazing!
