Plant this (when it exists)

There are no seed strips yet. This is the plan, written down before the first one so nobody has to guess.

Some copies of the zine will carry a small sealed strip of seed paper. Plant it in your own yard, a friend's yard with their yes, a community garden, or a school bed with the principal's okay. Not in a park, not in open space, not in Red Rock Canyon, Section 16, the Garden of the Gods or Bear Creek, not along the creek or a trail, and never after a fire. Those places get seeded by the people who manage them, with seed matched to the ground, and a stranger's strip does more harm than good there.

What's in it: Colorado natives from a Colorado grower (Western Native Seed, in Coaldale): Lewis blue flax, Rocky Mountain penstemon, blanketflower, prairie coneflower. Nothing from the state's noxious weed list, which is where the cheap "wildflower mixes" go wrong. Plant in fall; the penstemon wants a winter in the ground.

Plant it, take a picture when something comes up, send it in. The best ones run in the paper with your name on them.
