An electricity company has dug a hole at the edge of the meadow (in the space where we usually park). They dug another hole in the large triangle of grass at the top of the road, where I did my practise scything and where we found the Lady's Bedstraw in the summer.
I have taken advantage of the disturbance to plant some Anemone bulbs at the top of the road and I'm hoping that the Cornflowers, which are right next to the dug up parking space, will like the disturbed soil. My other job this weekend has been to collect seed from the Vipers Bugloss, which is a biennial, to grow some plants on in case they don't propagate naturally on the meadow. My plastic greenhouse is in pieces in the shed so I'll wrestle that out and hopefully remember how to put it together again. There are also cuttings cuttings from my favourite sage to overwinter in it, and a couple of Penstemons as most of these died last winter.
