@DoomsdaysCW But please, make sure the seeds are from native plants. You don't want to spread invasive, non-native plants.

@c_merriweather I made Milkweed plant bombs from seeds that had stratified.

@DoomsdaysCW Invasive plants are a serious problem in California. They choke out natives and are often fire hazards.

There are a number of volunteer and government agencies which are educating the public on what to avoid planting, and how to remove invasives when they are found.

Just a few local examples, near me:

ā€¢Star Thistle. It can grow a tap root up to 3' long, if not removed. An infested area takes around 3 years to clear of plants and seeds.
ā€¢Scotch Broom
ā€¢Tamarask
ā€¢Reed cane/Arundo donax (brought to California by the Spanish!)
ā€¢Pampas grass
