Back garden wildflower meadow

This year my wildflower "meadow" in my back garden was lovely
A mixture of a few self seeded plants, some commercial seed that I scattered and some plants from the garden centre. No grass.

I've cut it all down and left it on the ground to drop its seeds.

But, with the tiny bit of rain we've had, millions of tiny weeds have popped up. Are any of them likely to be next year's seeds sprouting? What do I do?

Don’t worry ours does that too. Just looks like a tatty weedy bit of ground for a bit! Ours was lovely this year too- we seeded it 6 years ago and it changes every year!

I reckon loads of them will be self seeded from your plants this year.

They're definitely seedlings from your plants this year. One of the best time to sow native wildflower seeds is September.
