Do let us know what you hear back. I didn't get my seeds in early enough so now have rock hard soil/clay to contend with. Maybe I'll have to admit defeat this year. (Or water everything like a bastard)

Will do!
Clay is...a thing. The geranium don't mind it, but many other wildflowers don't love it. Creeping buttercup and hedge vetch dies grow for me.
I have self-heal growing in building sand that must have gotten some humus or compost blown in, every time I move it, it dies. But it loves that mix nothing else can grow in! :)

Hi JWestland – Congratulations on winning one of the Let Nature In packs! The best time to sow your wildflower seeds would be early Spring (March/April) or late summer (September). We’d advise choosing a small area of your garden that is open, has grass and gets lots of sun - wildflowers do well in poor quality soil. Strip the grass or scratch back the top soil and seed with your wildflower mix. Then sit back and let it grow! You’ll find much more info on caring for your wildflower patch on the ‘Mini Meadows’ info card included in your Let Nature In pack.

The roses seem to enjoy the sun, mine are flowering very well even though it's dry.
I have won something, let the wildflower lawn battle begin... I have emailed the seeds company as I've no idea what's in the mix and what sort of poor soil they need. Rock hard clay it probably isn't.
