We ordered the wetland seeds!
We went with plants that either had to be in wet lands, or that could handle having their feet wet. The land is still pretty wet, even with the dry summer that we have been having.

We won't be able to plant until the ground is dry - probably will do a frost seeding, so the seeds will go into the chest freezer until it is ready.
