[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, establishing a real wildflower meadow is among the hardest gardening pursuits. And we don’t even have the right climate for it. And a slope is even harder. Whatever you’re picturing in your head ain’t going to happen from scattering some seeds. You could plant rudbeckia and echinacea, which are native and very easy to grow perennials. There are a bunch of native plant nurseries locally that will sell you those and others. They will look spectacular in bloom, but they won’t be a “meadow.” And when they’re not in bloom, depending on where you live, your neighbors might not be happy with you. If you really want to do annuals from seed, cosmos are pretty easy and so are zinnias. Basically you’d revert to mulch all winter. But on a slope they will require some tending. If you’re new to gardening as well as to this house, do some small scale experiments next year so you’ll know more what to expect. [/quote]
