Wild flower seeds

[kathateria]

I planted out some rake and sow wild flowers, the beginning of the month.

Would they come up this year,or is it weed growth?

Will the weed flower.Then you might not have wild flowers if you grub it out..

Hi kathateria.
The seed you sowed should all have germinated by now, although they will still be very small. Remove anything you recognise as a 'weed', if you're not sure, leave and remove when you can clearly see what is what.
It depends what was in your mixture as to whether any will flower this year. You can always sow some more seed in late August, early Sept. to fill in any gaps. Seeds from this sowing will almost certainly flower next year. But do try and keep on top of any 'weeds'.

Weeds are wildflowers to me certainly the animals that use them for food and shelter can't seem to tell the difference!

Plus i find the job of 'weeding' in the garden becomes far easier once you decide they are all wildflowers!
