I Turned My Garden into a Wildflower Meadow

I turned my garden into a wildflower meadow, and our cat Harry f'in loved it.

Hope you all like this one! Been cooking it up for a few months. If you haven't already, I would very much appreciate you clicking that big juicy subscribe button. 🤠

Landscape designer here: Leave your wildflower meadow until way into winter (feb/early march) before cutting, this creates habitat to overwinter for a lot of other insects than just bees. Mow it, leave the droppings outside for roughly 2 days and then take away everything you have cut. Taking away the droppings is important because the wildflower thrives in very harsh conditions, food wise. Next spring you really don't need to spoil your wildflower meadow this much. A plant feed is doing the opposite from what you're hoping to achieve, and will make it easier for grasses to overtake your beautiful meadow. Also, by the time you have been mowing, all the seeds have already fallen out of the plant and have spreaded themselves. So the meadow is ready for another year, with your effort needed only once a year. Enjoy the flowers, hopefully for many years. 🐝

I was impressed with Harry’s climbing up the trellis ladder!

Your flower meadow looks lovely. You could use those old paving stones for a pathway and a small seating area so you can enjoy being in it.

"Recent studies suggest that moths visit as many species by night as honeybees and bumblebees do by day, and the flowers of many of our crop species are included in their rounds."
I like the idea that when the bees all go to bed, the moths come in to the night shift!
My mums lawn is all long and flowery, and her cat loves it! The other day the cat was hidden in the long grass with just her ears poking out 😻

George what a delightful video. Your hard work definitely paid off it’s lovely.

Omg living so close to your parents that their cat regularly comes to visit you sounds so lovely 😭

Your parents' cat new nickname, "Dirty Harry, " 😂 Clint Eastwood would have a laugh 😅 Lol

2:48 Harry really said: “They see me rollin’, they hatin’…”

After watching your beautiful video, and Harry, my blood pressure has gone down from yellow on the BP monitor to green! Thanks George.

The weighted ladder trick is impressive.

George mix a bunch of seed packets with soil and water. Form into balls and allow them to dry a little. Then on a nice misty day drive around and toss the seed balls along the country lanes. See what comes up in Spring. We do that with Blue Bonnet seeds. fyi.

Greetings from Los Angeles, California! The meadow is beautiful, George. I adore Harry and his love of nature (dirt).

[mpfractal]

You're the bees knees! Well done!

Watching your videos is like hanging out with a good friend; you're relaxed but always end up laughing out loud

[susanroutley]

YAY! Good for you Patchy!! The meadow looks amazing. That video itself was therapeutic. Beautiful music.

I was so busy watching Harry, I'm afraid I'll have to replay your video again because I didn't listened to one word you said ☺
