Find a spot that receives at least eight hours of sunlight.* Plant commercially produced seeds that have been scarified to increase germination percentage and speed. Try wildseedfarms.com. (Or use sandpaper to scratch the hard seeds you've collected yourself.) * Disturb the area where you are planting the seeds by mowing short. Or better yet, for poor draining areas, till in compost and/or expanded shale to improve drainage.* Apply at a rate of 5 to 10 seeds per square foot. Consider mixing seeds with sand to help determine where you have applied seed and where you haven't.* To make sure the seeds have good contact with the soil, lightly cover the seeds with soil or rake in.

Texas Tech in uncharted waters
EAST REGION TEXAS TECH 78, PURDUE 65 BOSTON -- Having advanced further than any Texas Tech team ever has, the Red Raiders are one win away from returning to Texas for the Final Four. Getting a big lift from its bench and its defense, Tech advanced to Sunday's East Region title game with a 78-65 victory over second-seeded Purdue. As he has throughout the tournament and for so much of the season, senior point guard Keenan Evans took over when it mattered. He had just six points on 1-of-6 shooting when he nailed a 15-footer to put Tech up 56-51 with seven minutes to play. From that point, he delivered 10 points down the stretch to cement the victory. With the victory, the Big 12 now has three teams playing this weekend with a chance to go to the Final Four, with Kansas and Kansas State joining Tech. Tech (27-9) advances to face East top seed Villanova (33-4), which eliminated West Virginia, 90-78, in the first game Friday at TD Garden. The Wildcats lead Division I in scoring at 87 points … [Read more...] about Texas Tech in uncharted waters
