Connecting to Nature

Using the drone to capture from above without walking on them. For those asking I prepared a stale seed bed by digging out the old grass and rotavating a few times. Then left for a while and weeded before raking in seeds at end of April. The manhole cover is for my water well. – at Carlow, Ireland

My wildflowers are all the better for that rainfall and some colour starting to appear along with some 🐞 – at Carlow, Ireland

A lovely evening to get the wild flowers seeds in the ground, now we wait and hope they flower. A lot of rotavating and raking has gone into getting the seed bed stale after removing grass. No sprays used just rotavator and rake along with a lot of back breaking. The seeds are from @BloomingNative with some native mixes for large area out front and then a small area for annual mix that should give some nice colour.

A might evening to finally get ready to sow my @BloomingNative wildflowers. Still up to 17.5c at 6:30pm and some late sunny spells.

A lovely Spring morning in Carlow as the hazy sunshine holds on for now as rain in the West moves in. More prep for the @BloomingNative wildflower seeds, lots of raking but no spraying.

Working in late light to start preparing a bigger area this year for wild flowers from @BloomingNative I’d forgotten how much of a workout the rotavator is, haven’t used one in 25 years. I didn’t want to spray off the grass, well located there and also trying to avoid spraying.
