Another Eventful Morning for TMAEG.
Just six weeks ago the TMAEG Team dug over an area next to the new footbridge for later sowing with wildflower seeds. We removed a mass of ivy roots, brambles and other weeds – a painstaking task!
This latest Saturday, we returned to the site, gave it a final raking over and then sowed those seeds at a density of 3 grams per square metre – again much patience needed!
We don’t expect instant results, nature takes its time. But hopefully, some of those varieties will be in flower by this summer and the rest by their second season.
Last week we experienced a mini heat wave. Very nice for us human beings but less good for those seeds and also for the young trees we planted a little earlier. So we made sure that everything was well watered, the two sources being a very kind TMAEG member from his own tap and then the stream M169 that borders the Bluebell Wood. With this ‘Chain Gang,’ we soon got that job finished!
