I've started browsing around for my spring plant orders. I've made a couple of posts about places to find native plants for attracting wildlife:
Prairie Moon Nursery
Attract Birds with Larval Host Plants
I also launched the community
birdfeeding for all kinds of bird-related interests such as birdfeeding and birdwatching. It's already quite lively, with members scattered around the United States of America and one in Scotland. So if you enjoy birds, drop by and check it out. I've been crossposting a lot of things to my blog and to
birdfeeding, like the ones above on native plants.

I'm definitely buying more of the monarch mix that I got last year; I really liked that one.
I want to plant some landraces, or at least lean more on open-pollinated stuff. My proto-landrace marigolds were very popular with late-autumn insects this past fall. Those were from assorted packets but also volunteers from previous years -- I had several in the lawn as well as the barrel garden. My results with planting several packets of sunflowers spawned a dismal 2 plants, although they did put out lots of little flowers with plentiful seeds. I'm hoping I can find something better this year.
