Is it better to sow them right in the soil or in a propagator and then
into the soil.
the problem is they are all mixed up and i dont know what sizes will
be where.



i have 3 types of mixed seeds .
english wild flowers .
californian w f
and texan w f


Those will be pure flower seed mixes, not meadow mixes containing grass
and flowers. They will probably be mainly annuals. Prepare your soil to
a fine finish, breaking up any lumps, and plant the seeds thinly is
clumps (they'll look more natural in clumps rather than straight lines).

You could also take some of each and plant in small pots - that way you
can protect them better against slugs and so on, and you can transplant
each pot as a single clump, avoiding disturbance to the seedlings.
