Zone 8b poppin’ already! Planted last fall and I was afraid they wouldn’t survive a deer attack before we got our fence installed, I’m in love!

So hot and dry even the weeds are wilting
Funny thing is most years I don’t even need to water anything because the clay content is so high it rarely dries out.

Native meadow
I recently moved onto 1.5 acres where the “lawn” is a mixture of native and introduced species. for example there’s white clover, blue pig root, dandelion, cranesbill, Carolina ponysfoot, hairy buttercup, Japanese clover, blue eyed grass etc. I would like to scratch up a big area and add native seeds for a meadow type feel. One day I imagine large swaths of meadow with paths mowed through it. Big fan of anything that supports the pollinators and other wildlife. Does anyone have a recommendation for where to buy a good NC native seed mix by the pound (or 1/4 pound)? Can be mix of perennial and annuals.

Wrong soil new gardener
Emptied 10 bags of miracle grow garden soil the cheap stuff from lowes into a raised garden bed then read the reviews & realise this is not the soil for containers to save digging out 10bags worth is there anything I can add to make suitable for growing blueberries or is anything at all that I could plant in this soil that would survive?
