Hi from Wisconsin

[JBtheExplorer]

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm not a big gardener, but I installed a small pond last year and have done a lot of planting around it, such as Ferns, Lilies, and Lavender plants. I've also been growing a lot of seeds like Blanket Flower 'Goblin', Coreopsis 'Mardi Gras', Dianthus 'Arctic Fire', Butterfly Weed, and Mexican Sunflowers. I also have a couple tomato plants.

I'm hoping this fall to plant a good amount of Black Eyed Susan's and Cone Flower seeds in a small section of the back yard. I have zero experience with starting seeds in Fall, and limited experience with starting seeds outdoors, so that's one of the reasons I signed up. I would love to know everything I'll need to do to ensure I don't kill them and have no cone flowers next year. I would love to hear what you guys with experience have to say!

Welcome from Connecticut! I envy your pond, wish that I had the space to have one. You will find all kinds of interesting info on this site and plenty of people who will answer your questions.

Thought I should share some photos of my area:

& here's the area I intend to plant wildflower seeds in fall. Right now I'm waiting to see if Blanket Flower seeds emerge.
