    Has 6 months gone so quickly,well to day I have forked over a new border for perennials ,it measures 15 ft x 6 ft any suggestions would be extremely helpful and very much appreciated;)

    The wildlife meadow is green but no flowers have appeared :scratch: so I guess I will have to purchase some wild flower plug plants if I can find any:)

                          Woo, don't be too despondent about your meadow flowers it is still possibly a little early for them to show, but there's no reason why you shouldn't add more seed to double your chances. :)
