This is why I love gardening

I planted some wildflower seeds this spring and today harvested a few, I think they look lovely!

Lovely. How did you plant them?

Alisonjayne

I literally threw them to the wind in the front garden. I saw a lot of green foliage two weeks ago that my husband tried to convince me were weeds that should be pulled up but I said no!
We went away for 11 days and when I came back last Wednesday, this was my reward, and also the look on hubbys face when he realised what he had almost pulled up

They don't look as good in the garden as they did though once Hurricane Horace had its way

Think I posted this in the wrong section, oh dear!

Looks lovely

Did you plant them into a bed / into grass?

Alisonjayne

Just a front border that I had raked over the soil, didn't expect much as they were from the £1 shop and I have been disappointed before with their plants. Hubby says they will come back year after year which he isn't happy about as although they do look lovely, they are a bit mixed in with established plants.

Fab. Congratulations! It looks like you have poppies and campion and cornflowers. I hope they will all self seed freely.
