i have an established bed running the length of my house that I sprinkled wildflower seeds in. Is there anything I can plant in the meantime that will not affect the growth of the seeds? They are spread randomly so I will not know if I am planting right on top of them but want the bed to be full. Should I just wait and see what arrives? It gets full sun.

Unless the seeds have at least started to sprout, any holes you dig to plant something else you'll be potentially digging up seeds. So I'd probably wait if I were you. Once the seeds start to sprout, then you'll be able to see if there are going to be bare spots and you can buy things to plant in those areas.

Totally agree with ecrane, if you want to put containers in front of the bed to get some instant color that might work.
