30 Days Wild - Day 21: A fortunate meadow

Ever since my grandma-in-law moved into a bungalow around the corner I've (quite voluntarily) acquired the job of gardener/lawnmower, usually with assistance from Maria or her dad.

I was doing quite well this year, keeping on top of the acres of grass, but for one reason or another it hadn't been done for a few weeks so it was getting on for a foot high in places!

Imagine my delight then today when my "customer" told me she'd like a bit leaving long for the wildlife! Good for the bees and for my back :-D

So I managed to leave an area uncut underneath two mature apple trees. It'll be interesting to see what comes up. Maybe we can get hold of some plug plants to diversify it a bit too.
