Time to upscale the community orchard and wildflower meadow on Brecks Lane. Sowing now as it requires overwintering to kickstart germination 👍🏻

Yellow rattle, the meadow-maker, sown in August 2020. (Seeds must be sown fresh). It will allow wildflowers to gain a hold...my wildflower meadow is just a tiny patch, but even at that, i see a huge increase in beneficial insects

Thanks Donna Rainey for the #yellowrattle seeds last year. Look! 😄 Success! #haymeadow #biodiversity #staywild
Yellow rattle is the parasite of the plant world. This beautiful flower feeds off the roots of surrounding grasses and weakens them, giving yellow rattle and other wildflowers a better chance of survival #wildflowerhour #yellowrattle wildflowerhour BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland
I've got some yellow rattle coming through but it's surrounded by grass with seed. Should I do something about the grass or leave the rattle to fend for itself?

The meadow maker - Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor). It’s hemi-parasitic which is great for biodiversity. It gains nutrients from surrounding plants, thus restricting grass growth & allowing other wildflower species to thrive. #YellowRattle
Some of my new babies are starting to flower! I’m hoping our meadow areas will be awash these in a month or two. Terribly exciting after all the work that went into collecting the seed, preparing the ground and sowing. #yellowrattle #meadowmaker #gardeningforwildlife

Looking after little things helps keep the big things in order.This will be our 3rd. summer at Sunnyhill Farm. The meadows are no longer grazed all year only for 6 weeks in Autumn and the result is #buttercups #yellowrattle #orchids #fleabane #BirdsFootTrefoil #bees #Butterflies
