Rivers in Bloom report from Dorothy Beedie
Indoor sowing dates for prairie gardens are March 7 for long season crops and April 15 for faster varieties. Varieties to sow on March 7 include carnation dianthus rudbeckia ageratum pansy salvia snapdragon and verbena. April 15 includes asters balsam impatiens bellflower butterfly flower marigolds petunia phlox strawflower and nicotiana. Seed sowing tips include mixing sand for even distribution and not covering tiny seeds with soil, using glass and newspaper to keep moisture, and watering when the surface dries. The Rivers in Bloom meeting is March 6 at 7 p.m. at Prairie Crocus Regional Library, with plans for 2008 including a mushroom and maple tapping workshop on March 20.
