scattering seeds to the wind
 

Near the rock pile is some very damp ground. What are the odds if I just
scatter seed on the damp ground that some of it will take root? Have you
ever done this?

Problem with scattering seeds (if you use lots of species) is, you don't know
which are weeds and which are planted.

Which is why it makes sense to grow things in rows: anything sprouts in a line
is planted, all the rest are weeds.

(Been there, done that, got the T.)

Bed planting is something many of us are playing with. My introduction
was through "How to Grow More Vegetables" by John Jeavons.

I broadcast seeds that are companions on to freshly raked ground, or
broadcast compost, and manure over the seeds. We try to fill every bit
of open space. My efforts so far, are mixed as rain took out some of my
seedling and some of the plants (celery, beets, Swiss chard, onions, and
parsley) are all going to seed right now, and are kinda all over the
place. I'm hoping that they will just re-seed themselves.

Depends on the "ground", whatever that is, mostly.

I think I missed the whole background on this; where and what seeds?

anything will come of it. basically wanted an enticement to get my
father to move beyond his zone :-) meanwhile, the potted tomatoe plants
are going like gangbusters and the potted radish and spinach is
sprouting.
