Yea, no thanks

I'm not reading all that.

Also.. lead paint really ruined your generation.

If I didn’t have any planned travel then I would just let it expire and drive around with a printed copy of the confirmed appointment time. YMMV

Licenses are different, you need an appointment for those.

That is so cool! Yet another reason to support public libraries!

Blue Stem Natives is amazing!

I'm doubtful Home Despot does much QA on native plants
They sold Purple loostrife in my local area for years knowing it was invasive

And I won't buy from them knowing how the corporation predominately donates money to the Republican party
Sorry / not really to bring up society and "politics"

Yes. It's on the second floor. (https://www.westwoodlibrary.org/services/living-library/)

Not OP but yes Westwood library has a seed section. Flowers, vegetables, etc. I got a bunch last year and plan to stop there this week for some more.

Stockseed farms! They mainly supply native prairie plants but they have tons of both native and naturalized wildflowers too! Seeds are really cheap too! I can get a pound of bachelors button seeds for $10

Get other quotes! If you a couple weeks later you are still interested in Express Roofing then tell them and if they say the quote is expired then tell them to quote it again for that week (they don't need to come out to re-quote a job)

Why not renew online

I'm close to Westwood. Will check out. You're referring to the Westwood library?

This sounds easy. Is it trust worthy?

Haha, I know because I had to do the same shit of booking an appointment in 1+ month this week. Thankfully RMV sent me a reminder soon enough and I checked at appointment availability right away.

In a study in more than 6,000 adults, those who reported eating sunflower seeds and other seeds at least five times a week had 32% lower levels of C-reactive protein compared to people who ate no seeds.

Lots of places have wildflower seeds— you can find lists from Wild Ones for instance or your local UMass Cooperative Extension.

These lists are only good if you understand your growing conditions (shade, sun, soil type), and how much work you want to do to establish and maintain them i.e. watering, weeding, thinning.

Here’s a good list of resources:

I’ve had great luck growing Purple Coneflower from seed (if you’re looking for something easy to both start and maintain). Sunflower is also super easy to grow and will flower in one growing season.

In general starting from seed can be tricky — it helps to have a weed-free bed and to start them in late fall so that they establish themselves early in the spring.

If you plan to direct sow them now, you should look for varieties that do not require cold stratification (periods of freezing and thawing). Also you shouldn’t expect flowering until next year (or late summer/early fall) if you plan on starting perennials. There aren’t a whole lot of plants that will do much in their first season, other than annuals.

Forge and vine is great! I also love gibbet hill

Lol my information was based on exactly zero seconds of research

Thats good to hear, Broad Mountain Mint is one that I am looking to plant this year.

Check out Fedco seeds. They're a wonderful co-op company out of Maine that offers fabulous seeds and much more. I've been ordering from them for years, growing beautiful flowers, fruits and vegetables. I believe they offer a seed pack that is a mix of native wildflowers. Give them a look, happy growing!

I love that they do this. Westwood has an excellent one.

Also, OP, check your local garden club. There might even be some members who are willing to give you some seeds or plants to get you started.

Yup, Somerville west branch by Davis square has a gardening kit

We didn't grow them from seed but we bought some native mint plants at Allandale Farm in Brookline in 2021 and it spread everywhere. I think we planted 3 plants and last year we had like 40.

Homedepot has bags of native flower seeds.
