How do y'all decide the balance between dead heading for more blooms or letting flowers go to seed for the benefit of local birds?
I have one of the few flower gardens on my block and the only native garden, so pretty much all of my flowers produce beneficial seeds and I want to support the birds, but it would also be nice to get more blooms.

What I do is try to time it just right, deadhead until the blooming period starts to wrap up and then let the rest go to seed. It’s hard to do!

I've been meaning to create a blooming calendar for my garden, your method might be the motivation I need
