My Quiet Life in Suffolk: The Wild Flower Seeds

0
112


 On the naked floor underneath the Minarette apple timber I scattered a packet of wildflower seeds. Now  there are two Marigolds, some shoots of  Dill or Fennel, a few Dandelion and Groundsel crops and these fairly Phacelia.

The Groundsel and Dandelions may properly have appeared anyway, Dill/Fennel usually are not what I might name wild flowers and the Phacelia are often a plant sown as inexperienced manure……………………………..

A worthwhile, fast rising, inexperienced manure

Good in dry soils, however appropriate for all soil varieties

Engaging foliage shortly smothers weeds

If left to flower will entice bees and different useful bugs

 

Not a swathe of quaint wild flowers then however fascinating all the identical. 

Again Tomorrow
