I love Common Reed, this is only 1` x 1` & 3` high hopefully it will spread but not too much & grow to 8` next year

Yellow Rattle a parasitic plant that lives off grass stems so should keep the grass down giving more space for wild flowers.

Yellow Rattle after the rabbits got at it, I’ve collected hundreds of seeds from a field I was in so hopefully I’ll get lots next year & have the area rabbit proof.

I may be busy, but I'm Never too busy to listen.
