I would recommend waiting until some rain is due and then scattering the wildflower seedsin the area of garden or field you hope they'll settle into. then what I recommend is that you write the date of sowing on the packet they came in, and carefully fold it up, and tuck it into a pocket in your shooting jacket, gillet, dungarees, hoodie, chicken costume or possibly cocktail dress, I'm not sure what you tend to wear when you're gardening but one of those should cover it I expect, and either button the pocket up or zip it if there is a zip, because somebody might want to refer to the packet later. then what you do is you lay down on the ground on your back and get yourself nice and flat and comfortable, and look up into the sky above you, how big it is, how far there is to see, and you just lay there and feel your heart slowing and slowing, and the ground around you drawing you more closely to it, and you notice the worms and slugs and snails and beetles and ants and spiders, especially the spiders, who live their myriad tiny violent lives in the grass all around you beginning to draw nearer, climbing first over you, and then, through a gentle exploratory ingress of your more accessible orifices, into you. and as the exploratory ingress becomes less gentle and more pervasive, and the sky becomes an ever-wider unblinking eye, I recommend you think of your seedlings, scattered about you, waiting their turn to accept your contribution to their naissance

A lovely post, but ...even right at the start it questions the premise of wild flowers, why would you need times or spots if the are wild. (
