I did read somewhere one should never plant corn flower seeds anywhere
apartf rom your own garden as they are quite prolific once they get
started and the farmers hate them. I obviously don't want to get in to
trouble.

It's never a good idea to plant non-native species where they cannot
be controlled. it's probably not very polite to plant anything on
other people's land. If you introduce invasive weeds you could be
charged with trespass or criminal damage.

If you do want to brighten up a scrap of land, you ought to be
thinking of native wild plants. Your local wildlife trust may have
information, and possibly even sell seeds. http://www.lincstrust.org.uk/factshe...adow/index.php

That's a good idea.

- and do get the permission of the landowner

How does one find out who the landowner is? The tractor drivers who
work the fields just seem to be subbies.
