| Annual Seeds |
|
Most people are more interested in planting perennials because they only
have to make the planting one time. However, annuals should not be
overlooked. Annuals are fast growing and will provide an immediate food
source for wildlife. It is a good idea to plant an annual food strip
along side your perennial plantings. This will provide some variety for
the wildlife. Some will stand up and some will lay down after a heavy
snow. Annuals should be planted along the edge of the woods or along
fence rows to provide cover and a food source. |
