Q: I am thinking of having a wild flower area on my property. I have few acres. Is this feasible?
A: Yes. Wild flower gardens are becoming more popular. Try starting with a small area first to see if you like the effect. A true meadow will take up to three years to reach maturity. There are many "over the counter" mixtures available but check the seed contents/list before buying. Some mixes contain a lot of sawdust, golden rod and/or other filler seeds that you may find undesirable. There are good seed houses that put out catalogues where you can choose your own varieties to make up your own flower mix which will suit your site and personal tastes.
