How big were they?

Most were under 15 or so, there's also a ton of baobab seeds for very good prices (seeds were generally cheaper) seeds were often under a dollar for several seeds

Then get a king variegated banana

I’m not sure I’m looking at the right one, but it says it grows in zone 9+ And 18ft+ tall. That’s too big for me to move around.
I did see a cold hardy one, but that one can only handle -10f and we get much lower then that.

*Not an expert*

But after planting grass seed in the late summer, I’d say mid spring would be better. It will need regular watering, but you want to avoid so much water it washes away the seeds. Also raking the area before laying the seeds is important.
I didnt read up on planting grass before we did it. Now I wish I did. I think I managed to do everything wrong.

Lol, how about rose experts? I want to plant some roses in the front yard, is now good? The soil is soggy now though, I guess we're getting more rain next week.

I did those things when tried last spring lol.I got a expanse of growth but by the end of the summer most of it had all died and I was pretty much back to patxhes of dirt lol.This year I think I will lay the seed at the start of the spring.
