My Garden WIldflower Patch

Last year, I decided to turn some of the vegetable areas into wildflower 'meadows' and bought some seed from a recommended firm (Boston Seeds). It contained both annual and perennial species so last year was dominated by Corn cockles, Corn Marigold and Cornflowers. This year the various biennials/perennials have taken over with Red Campion, Salad Burnet and Wild Carrot dominating with other species in the gaps. The Corn cockles have seeded elsewhere so there will be plenty for seed gathering for next year.
