I am very interested in the environment and environmental issues. I spent a lot of time in my garden today, it is quite a good size garden. A couple of years ago, we sowed some wild flower seeds, but didn't see any flowers appearing for a long time, then we stared to notice the odd one or two. However, now we have an abundance of wild flowers growing in the garden. The whole lawn area is just full of them, oxdaisies, clovers, marigolds, marsh marigolds cornflowers, corncockles, cowslips, a few poppies and others. Some flowers may have been there before, but some are new. Each day I don't know what I will see next, It is a real joy to behold!
The housing association is leaving the grass to grow longer for a while, which I think is a good idea, to allow more insects to thrive and this will then will help to boost the ecological system.

Hi Gill
We have a path which is shared by 3 other neighbours. It is not used and hubby and I have maintained it for 8 yrs. I decided to sow wild flower seeds which hopefully will start popping through next year. As the grass has not been cut one neighbour has decided she wants to use the path. Seemingly she has lived in her home since the early 70’s and never used it as she used another neighbours drive way. We owned that flat also and I had words with her about using other peoples property. The new owner stopped her using it so now two years later she wants to use the path
I refuse to cut the grass on the path 😊

You are right Judith keep your grass long, it is better. You will soon see some wild flowers before long.
