That sounds perfect Alys, poppy and cornflower will definitely work, I’ll be interested to hear about the cowslips!

I haven’t read his book Goo though I mean to! I learned about seed bombs a while ago now when I met some really old school community gardeners from America who had been doing this for decades and felt so inspired that I had to try it for myself. I’ll probably get the Reynolds book out of the library as I bet there are new tricks to be learned and I think his seed bomb making and sowing technique is a bit different to the one I do. Welcome to the blog by the way!

That is good news Kit, thank you for spreading the news… you are like an ideabomb, sending the message out to germinate in new places! I think it started on your side of the pond anyway, but it’s nice to get a bit of cross pollination going I visited that site you mentioned too, it’s a fantastic resource.

That sounds fantastic Chrissy, love-in-a-mist is so pretty! I would have felt quite chuffed if I’d seen my garden escapees looking so happy in the semi wild There are lots of plants that don’t do a bad job of seedbombing on their own!
