What a lot of effort has gone into transforming this grass field/mono culture, into a hay meadow,
It's an ongoing project which will take many years.
Gerrys' brother broadcast YELLOW RATTLE seeds over the field about 3 years ago. It has parasititized the grasses, killing them off as it does so. This leaves space for wild flowers to colonize.
Here is the HALL OF FAME
OXEYE DAISIES, RED CLOVER, BUTTERCUPS
CRANESBILL GERANIUM
SMALL TORTOISESHELL BUTTERFLY
YELLOW FLAG ON THE EDGE OF THE STREAM
RAGGED ROBIN
