Next spring's wildflower show gets its start in the next few weeks.

The UC Master Gardener Program Statewide Blog recommends waiting until temperatures are consistently cool later this month. Then:

Choose a sunny spot and clear out weeds and grasses.
Mix organic compost into the soil to help it hold moisture.
Scatter seeds evenly, rake them in lightly and top with a thin layer of compost.
Water well, then wait for spring color.
