What seeds have you Purchased/Planted this year?

[arknor]

I'm trying to attract birds/bees to my balcony so went with.

Alpine Strawberry Baron Von Solemacher
Blue Bell Bulbs English (also bought a ton of seed before I realised it took up to 5 years to flower)
Cornflower - Centaurea Cyanus Blue Boy
Corn Poppy Flanders - Papaver Rhoeas (12grams is like a million seeds)
Cosmos Dwarf Mix
Delphinium Dwarf Magic Fountain Series Dark Blue with White Bee
Lavender Common English
Millet Foxtail Hylander
Oat Grass
Pearl Millet
Rudbeckia Hirta - Black Eyed Susan
Salvia Farinacea - Blue Victory
Sugar Snap Pea - Delikett
Sunflower Dwarf Sunspot
Sunflower Tiger Eye - Helianthus Annus
Sunflower Mongolian Giant (hopefully the pot limits its size)

Already got way too much or I would have added Teasel and a Blueberry Bush to the list.

Sweetpeas in a planter, and 2 varieties of clematis to climb up the front of the house.

Down the side of the grass more sweetpeas, California poppies and a wildflower mix. I'm sure there is one more in there, I just grabbed 4 packets of seeds as they were cheap.

For birds you’ll want to keep a well stocked bird feeder. Depending on the location you may want to consider a squirrel proof one.

Probably not an issue with a balcony but Teasel is a voracious spreader as it basically explodes it's seeds around.

TBH it sounds like a wildflower type area you're looking to grow... Check here - https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/wild-flower-garden-first-attempt.18972285/

I haven't planted anything this year as I intend to sort our garden problems out once and for all. Usually I would have had several trays of seeds in the coldframe from the beginning of March, mostly flowers for the tubs and baskets.

Our Blossom tree is in full bloom. Bumble bees are going mad.



I have last year's marigold seedlings in trays ready for planting out at the end of May and some young chilli pepper plants in the greenhouse.

Such a nice lawn... About to be covered in blossom

I've been using these guy's seeds for a few years. The small bag is enough for the flowerbed in my garden with some left over https://icanlawn.com/bees-please
