I'm seriously impressed tbh, I know you're supposed to use native seeds and I do in my actual wildflower areas but this was just one bed and I wanted to do an experiment.
The bees and the hover flies absolutely love it.

Super
This is just wonderful! Wildflower meadows (even mini-meadows) are the best! ♥️
Lidl is great for, seeds, plants and nice donuts
Wow, that’s lovely
They’re beautiful
That’s gorgeous, did the bindweed stay away?
Very nice. Trying to kill bindweed in my front garden at the moment, it’s a curse.
I love those seed boxes. So handy for some extra colour the bees love
Fab! An even cheaper way to get wild flowers to grow is through management. By managing your bit of ground like an old style meadow, this will happen. Cutting the area each year, when plants have set seed, and removing the clippings, will help to reduce the soil nutrient levels, resulting in a soil that’s more favourable for wildflowers over time. And there’s no need to show seed, this type of management encourages the preexisting soil seed bank to start growing!
You did a fantastic job 👍👍👍
Did you just sprinkle the seeds on the soil as it was or did you do some work on it first?Did you overlay the seeds to protect from birds?
Great idea wild flowers will look amazing.
I presume it’s too late to plant any wild flower seeds now?
