Wild flowers for Stickitoffee..

17 comments


i thought i would put these pics on as we were talking about them the other day..

they are on what was just a grassy area, used mainly by dog walkers..must have been sown by the council as there are a few other areas dotted about that are the same..

could have been better pics,i was in a hurry as i didnt want to be called a mad woman taking pics on a main road.

wouldnt it be nice to have a lot of our spare ground like this..looks much better.

It is lovely isn't it, took some photo's myself and put them on. Wish they would do this more often, it's much better than just over gown grass!

I agree. We are funny folk aren`t we, I often stop and take a photo when on holiday or just out and about, strange thing is I`ve realised I rarely do it locally, lol....

Red, i wrote a reply to your comment earlier today but must have forgotten to " add " it.. i just wondered where it had gone.lol.i agree, more areas like this would improve our towns & cities..:o)
Lincs, theres nowt so queer as folk, lol..my camera is always in my bag but like you i hardly use it locally, dont know why i take it out ..lol

Oh thank you joanella, I have been away so I have only just seen it - it is so pretty, I love it and totally agree - I wish they would do it more often. We could all plant a few near us and see how quickly they join up?

Like that idea Sticki! :-) I have an area at the back of where I live that is 'wild' so I have decided to try sprinkling some wild flower seeds on it next year!

thats what i was thinking ~ maybe it would work after some rain??? i cant really go digging in a place that doesnt belong to me.

Hi Sticki, & i agree with you & Red..i have a bit of "unadopted" land (only a small patch) with a footpath on it,i may throw some seeds on there,everyone could do a little bit as you say..it brightens the place up..good idea Sticki..
