The wildflowers start in ernest

The wildflower meadow is just beginning to start in earnest. Another couple of weeks should see this sort of view right across the meadow

 

Ooh, pretty! Did you sow it from scratch?

Beautiful.

I've got a lawn full of weeds and the largest slugs you have ever seen.

 

:thumb: Just lovely, Sam.

If it was up to me, that's how I would let our lawn grow , but Mr K always wants an English lawn. :(

Now that's beautiful. Am I right to assume you seeded it? I've never tried to grow a wild flower meadow myself but I suspect it's more difficult to achieve than it looks because it looks so completly, er, well, "natural".

Is that the case?

 

Yip
Have a look at a couple of my posts on this in the 'wildlife' section Flinty. You will get the story from page one

 

That is beautiful....wish we had room here for a wildflower meadow.....

What other site, and what was your name?
I try to keep the same name everywhere ......

 

Looks great and will only get better. Any chance of a photo of the whole area?

 

Hi Sam,
LOL yes you do have the same name....well I think...LOL and it was the HGTV garden forums...........I was lauriwilson on there....

 

Yip ... if it develops to a suitable degree. Loads of buds now, but still to flower. No point taking a pic of grass
Laurie ... Crocosmia is much more 'gardiny' if harder to spell
