Wild Flower Patch

Seed ordered today

 

Which seed did you go for?

 

I got the Emorsgate Seeds native cornfield mix. I got 100g for £6. I thought about the £8 mix with more variety but will go for this basic mix this year, maybe try something bigger next

 

Seeds arrived Saturday. Should be enough for three patches in my borders i think.
Nebver done annuals before from seed, let alone native insect atteacting plants so fingers crossed

 

Seeds sown today !! Enough for two patches.
Fingers crossed the germinate

 

I got these, will be mixing them with sand and throwing then on the ground at the back of my allotment soon

I must say, ive been very disapointed. All i have are the daisy's and yellow daisy and the odd blue flower. Very short, only about a foot high.

Not sure whether the wet has done them.

The wet & the slugs Mr G, we're all suffering this year

 

Don't give up quite yet. I had the same result last year, then suddenly come Aug everything else suddenly kicked off.

This year looks to be more of a struggle though, as docs have shot up everywhere and I've been fighting a battle to remove them and the faster growing grass. I'm still hoping for a decent display later on and one plant that I am looking foward to seeing is the many teasels that I planted last year to flower this year.
