My small wildflower meadow on the allotment is looking quite good this year. It took me about 10 years to get there, starting with planting plugs grown from seed, and sowing a few choice grasses. Later I also introduced yellowrattle. I cut and remove the meadow vegetation every year in September and also some years in late winter. The meadow is used by a great number of insects and other invertebrates including many spiders. #meadow #garden #wildflowers
