| Bee on oxeye daisy |
Because it has been so dry there have been far fewer wildflowers in the fields. Luckily for us and the bees though these ox-eye daisies flowered what seems like months ago and have just kept going.
We've decided this year to leave large areas of the fields unmown. We did this so that we didn't mow all of the plants at the same time and also we wanted to leave large areas for the birds and hares to nest in.
Next year we will be able to see whether not mowing stops the wildflowers growing because the ground is too overgrown and rich.
