A few photos of my little meadow :-)
Not bad considering at the start of the year this was a greenhouse! :-)
Millie & Fly the Border Collies
The insects, Bees and Butterflys are going to love it
Love it Kat. What a success.
I hope so! Though it does look nice lol
Well done KatTai, I have to say it put's mine to shame as it still just looks like long grass and that's after I've added plugs!!!.....I have got a load more corn flower plugs to add in soon though (and they're all in bud!)
Thanks for sharing it with us...
Your little meadow is splendid, mine however does not look so good as it appears the mix i used appears to have contained quite a bit of oil seed rape. :-/
Love your cornflowers.
My meadow seeds didn't contain any grasses, just flowers, the grasses will come on their on though I have no doubt lol At the moment it is mostly corn flowers and the daisy things, but others are coming up pretty quick so hopefully different things will appear as the season goes on :-)
Hi Kat
It looks great. In fact so great I'm tempted to try one for myself
Best wishes Chris

It was very easy and nothing needs to be done with it lol
I have plantain in my meadow now - some was growing in one of my old veg pots so, as the plants weren't budging, the whole pot was plonked on the meadows bald patch lol I figure underneath the pot will provide extra hiding places for mini-beasties :-)
Were your seeds from Suttons Juno? I sewed some of there’s and got a high proportion of rape seed. I did complain and got told it was Yellow rattle, how stupid do they think gardeners are?
Build it and they will come.
Ah that would explain where the rape in my garden came from!
I'm not bald. I've just got ingrowing hair!
