Wild at heart ...
At the foot of the garden, I created a strip, only 18" wide but around 60' long running alongside a gravel footpath. I wanted this strip to be our contribution to rewilding.
I have left it uncut and unfed. Just allowing it to do whatever it wanted to. Today it is full of daisies, poppies and other wild flowers in amongst the grasses. Not to mention the increased visiting wildlife of bees, hoverflies, frogs, newts, beetles and birds darting in for bugs and besties. I will cut this strip back roughly in around twelve weeks and let it do it all again next year.
