From January to the end of March 2023 we had about 450 large white pine trees removed from a 1/4 mile, 40-foot-wide piece of land. We then had the land cleaned up with a forestry mulcher. After that, I seeded the area with the hope to add to what is naturally in the soil. Our plan has been to turn this parcel into a pollinator meadow. Spot spraying will be necessary as invasive plants will also take advantage of this newly created open space. This video is one in a series documenting this change and shows the dramatic transformation one year later. Given the dense variety of plants emerging there should be a progression of wildflowers and an abundance of flora as the growing season progresses.

Thank you for watching. I assume you are using Celsius. That day it was about 67 degrees F. We have had a very nice spring regarding the temperature and rainfall.

Very enjoyable! Last year my wife and myself planted a huge portion of our vegetable garden in Zinnia's which did fantastic. We collected all the heads in the fall, dried them, crushed them up flower heads, petals, and seeds. We had a 5 gal bucket nearly full of this mix and we broadcasted them in the garden again along with sunflowers and they are teaming again. I wonder what I would have to do to prepare the field that I have been mowing using the remainder of the Zinnias as well as other flowers? I bet she wouldn't want me to mow that field anymore!

I bet you are correct. Make the suggestion and give it a try. Thanks for watching another one of my videos.

Show many beneficial plants growing there now! For humans and the pollinators!

Yes, that was our hope and plan. I appreciate you watching and commenting. The variety and types surprised us. I will just let this area develop like it wants to. My input will be spot spraying for invasives and potentially mowing it in February or early March of 2025.

Lovely- and good job. Where are you located? We are restoring an Oak/Short Leaf Pine Savanah in N. central Alabama. Not quite as far along as you.
