Grow Wild (Kew) Seeds arrived ...

I can't find the post where the offer was generated, but, my seeds arrived today

Has anyone else received them?

 

Yep "Your Wales wildflower seeds", love how it's put the Welsh writing before English.

Contains: common knapweed, cornflower, corn chamomile, corn cockle, corn marigold, corn poppy, hedge bedstraw, meadow buttercup, oxeye daisy, red campion, ribwort plantain, viper's-bugloss and yarrow.

Did you get the same @"M" ?

 

Yes, those are the ones. I was a bit miffed when I saw the corn cockle ... I've only just sown a packet of those could have saved myself the bother!

Have you sown yours?

 

Ahh sods law! No not yet, I'm tempted to throw them on the railway banking on the weekend when we have a bit of rain. Nothing has grown there before when I've thrown seed at it.. so not sure what to do with them. Where will you put yours?

 

Nice one woo! I did chuckle at the "grewitmyselfie" ... may even enter

I've already "put" them
I was waiting for Mr "M" to be on rest day (oh, the irony ) to move the solanum to the back fence. In time, that should block the view from the new build that has gone up behind the fence. It is the area the hens have the run of, plus that is where I have my loganberry, tayberry and gooseberry bushes, so, I extended the cordon to include the newly transplanted solanum and then thought the wild seeds!!! Sprinkled them on the soil, gave the shrub and seeds a watering and now have It is the sunniest part of the garden so I'm on the optimistic side of hopeful If they grow - and I have no reason to suppose they won't - any buzzies will also visit the fruit bushes and voila! double bonus

 

My seeds have arrived, I'm going to try some in a container and chuck/sprinkle the rest on a border near the veggies for some flowers!

 

Yay! Mine arrived also, I have scattered them in the garden in my wildflower area... Let's see what happens!

 

Mine arrived too and I added them to my wildflower meadow which I sowed a couple of weeks ago.

 

How are your wild seeds growing?
Mine have just sprung to life ...



... which I am delighted about because, the solanum I moved to the back fence at the same time I sowed these hasn't made it *sighs*.

Still these little lovelies have and that is great!

 

Nice one M, be lots of bees in a few weeks
Mine are still in the packet, not direct sown anything due to the move

 

where are you moving to?

 

Will you be moving soon?
Could you sow them in a pot so you could take them with you, perhaps?

 

not far only 6 miles down the road lol nowhere exotic sadly :(

Still not had a date but "end of may/ beginning of june" :s I've packed all my seeds and trays away and only have 3 spare bigish pots to put my other in ground plants in when we go.. I could sow them but I have had titful of next door and just want from here.. barely watering my pots atm it's got a bit desperate, few things need planting on and its just not happening..

 

I can empathise! Ok, so prioritise the plants which are most important to you and if that means sacrificing some, so be it. The beauty of plants are: we can get more of them
