OPs Description: Got rid of all the weeds, brambles, goose grass and so on late last year. I rotavated and raked, and picked out so many pebbles and old crocks. Then life got busy and I kept putting back the time I could sow the wildflower seeds I’d got. I sowed in May! Today the little meadow is in almost full bloom, and covered in bees and butterflies. I’m in love with this bit of the garden again :-)
Fair enough, but your comment also made me think of this
I guess the same rules apply in parts of Australia
