Hi John, sorry to hear this. The ideal time to plant is March to June. Email our customer services and they should be able to send you another packet - buzz@justbeehoney.co.uk
Do I need to put the seeds in a container? I Was planning on putting them at the bottom of the garden...with compost I suppose...and water them regular
You can absolutely put them in the garden in a bed or just sprinkle them on a wild patch or field. They are very hardy and will grow in most places with a little water 🙂
