Do u Rememer My Meadow In 2008? I Planted Native Cowslips

& Some Daffodiles

Summer loves to Lay & Roll in the Long Grass :)

It Seemed to take ages to get going & was mostly all Grass!Until 2009 when The Daffs Grew & the Buttercups & Forget-Me-Nots Joined Forces:)

The Corn Flowers I Grew & Planted looked nice with the Buttercups 2 :)

Lots of Self heal grew & looked Pretty with My Corn Cockles another Planted id grown & added to the Meadow :)

Well today iv been busy Raking & Sowing the Short Strimmed Meadow in hope itl have even MORE Flowers this Summer :D

I Brought More Wild Flower Seeds as i knew i needed a lot to cover all the Meadow :)

There all done & only took me 3hrs to Rake,Sow & Flatten

With the Help Of Summer Of Course;)

It looked so pretty last year Jacque It going to be hard to make it any better this year , you deserve a nice long soak in the bath after all that work :o))

2 Mar, 2010

 

Hi Amy i think i need that soak :) lol

2 Mar, 2010

 

It looks lovely Jacque, I'd love an area big enough to have a meadow. I have plenty of wild primroses that just seed around, not meaning to boast but ours are in flower now & they are beginning to flower in the grass verges & country lanes. Your grasses are beautiful as Sid said.

2 Mar, 2010

 

It will look beautiful Jaque,I like the grass paths so that you can get in amongst the flowers :)

2 Mar, 2010

 

Looks so nice and natural Jacque. When did you cut the grasses down, in the Autumn? I just wonder when its the best time so that the wild flowers can self seed.

2 Mar, 2010

 

Well done Jacque, remember how well it looked last year.

2 Mar, 2010
