This is the second year of ‘the purple tansy meadow’, and it is all above what I imagined it would be. There are many more plants this 2019 year that there were in 2018, it is full of wildlife and absolutely gorgeous.
This year in April we removed some of the useless plants, like grass like with redish spikes. I don’t really know that they are called. And we sowed some more seeds. There are also plants that we didn’t sow. Thistles and of course dandelions. We love them, and insects do so as well.
I have made a list of plants sowed in the ‘meadow’ because I want to keep track of them. I may sound like a control freak. But on the other hand, I learn more Latin 😉
