Allotments 4 All

That nice postman delivered 2 packs today,not much detail on the pack but a freebies a freebie.

yep, Callum's arrived yesterday, will sow them and see  ;D

I put both the twins names down but only got 1 so they will have to share.They will probably have more fun with the stickers and Ben their older brother can have the seeds. Thye will probably make the bee hotel as well. Not bad for a freebie and it helps get the kids to learn about wildlife

hi there

Same here.  I got one pack for my daughter sent to our home, the other for my son to my work address ;)

ours came too kids carnt wait to plant them out!

my girls recieved theirs yesterday and to hear them argue from my sick bed you would swear they had two different things ::) (you can't look at mine cause you won't let me look at yours ::)), girls ??? what are they like :).

we planted them in the allocated mini meadow area today, it was a beautiful day for it as well.

thanks again for posting this freebie :D.

mine came yesterday will be planting them when i get in from work tomorrow. thanks for the post

Mine came today too! Hopefully plant them tomorrow.

Do any of you recognise the flowers from the photo??

i thinki see red poppies, cornflower and i think corn marigold it might have some corn chamomile as well ???

i think there was some sort of daisys also

If you want bees, try fiddleneck (Phacelia tanacetifolia). You'll get swarms. Oh, and I also find both coriander and hyssop very attractive to bees and butterflies like the hyssop.  :)

Do you think I could mix these seeds with soil and just sow on top of grass? I have an area under an enormous conifer, where I have left uneaten bird seed to germinate. Some flowers in amongst the grasses would look great!

why not try sowing them as plug plants to plant in the area when they are a little bigger.

they don't have to be individually sown either just a small pinch of seed into individual cells or pots or whatever you have at hand then when they are big enough harden off and plant out (you could even sow them in the pots/ cells, etc and leave outside to germinate so you don't then have to go through the hardening off process).

Now why didn't I think of that!  ::) Thanks for that suggestion, will post some photos, hopefully of a small wild area, with flowers!
