Late last fall, I decided I would plant the back field of grass with wildflowers and then have mown  grass pathways. I’ve been doing a wee bit of research and now more than a wee bit uncertain about this. It appears to be a complicated and labor intensive process – unless you pay to have it done and then it is simple and easy . . . and expensive.

Plan B: Experimental areas of wildflower planting and lots of prairie grass; of course, my definition of prairie grass is roughly any grass grown tall from lack of mowing. I suspect there is a flaw in this thinking.

Plan C: Soybeans.
