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 :-)

Someone asked OP and they said:

I'm in the UK, west mids to be specific. The pictures are of part of my back garden. I have about a 1/2 acre, which is quite large for a normal garden in the UK. The garden has three sections, and this is the "meadow". The photos show native wildflowers like poppies, cornflower and campion.

Not mine but the OP did get some great praise in their post on reddit!
