    Some great photos as usual wildflowers are lovely.  Must try and take some of my garden when I get a minute.

    The wildflowers are buzzing with bees this morning!
    Stunning. Congrats on all the results of all the hard work.

    It's been a hectic couple of weeks, lots of rainfall and my mum fell  and ended up in hospital, home now a doing well.  today was the first day I've been out in the garden, seedlings all munched..........
    Single stalk left from 5 good sized Dahlia's I had planted.............

    This are was covered with Mes......... (Daisy like flowers) all that's left the is the one single half eaten flower, not even a leaf....

    Think it's time me the buy slug pellets........

    Sorry to hear about your mum @Mary370, glad she's okay :) .
    One or two of the ones in pots look salvageable though. 
    Dare l ask about the Montana?

    @KeenOnGreen thanks! I'll build you a cedar screen if you dig up half your lovely garden and put it in mine! 😀

    @Fire not sure I should take too much credit, 5 minutes of chucking some seed around wasn't exactly hard work!!

    @Yviestevie thank you! 

    @mary370 hope you're mum's ok!
    I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

    Interesting. Was it bare ground to start with? No prep?

    Well, I suppose this year I didn't do any prep other than loosen the top few inches as it was pretty compacted clay soil. I mixed the seeds with a bit of sharp sand, then threw it around. 

    Last year I cleared the whole garden and rotavated it and it spent the winter under cover.
    I’ve no idea what I’m doing.
