They mow, they plough, they spray poison.

Seed bombing is a brilliant idea - create a Bee Highway! I've had literally hundreds of bees all summer - and hoverflies and ladybirds, very few lacewings though. Cerinthe is a good one for the bees (see my blog) and I'd be happy to send you some seeds when they're ready, just email me.

I did it in a hurry so it was a short note enclosed but I wanted to share what Autumn will be like here eventually (we are in a mini heat wave still .. eeekk!)<br />I can proudly say that Kingston, and Ontario in general are mad for planting wildflowers on the side of major and minor roads with many trees as well. We are very lucky to live in such a pretty area (even though I miss the ocean still) .. on with Halloween !LOL<br />Joy : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-64581734060164267382011-09-28T10:11:03.650+01:002011-09-28T10:11:03.650+01:00Some of our verges and roundabouts are designated ...Some of our verges and roundabouts are designated roadside nature reserves. The M! has a ribbon of yellow down the edge when the dandelions are in flowers - I guess the seeds are blown along by traffic whooshing by. There are also lots of dog daisies.<br /><br />One on my route to work though that was a DRNR was full of bluebells and some idiot came along and mowed the lot down.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-45170648987696479502011-09-28T05:59:25.749+01:002011-09-28T05:59:25.749+01:00I have a tendency to scatter seeds willy-nilly whi...I have a tendency to scatter seeds willy-nilly whilst out dog walking :) Hope the head's better.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252983027018111307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-30606356919261016612011-09-27T23:22:40.394+01:002011-09-27T23:22:40.394+01:00I find that part about exploding very morbid but v...I find that part about exploding very morbid but very funny, haha :)<br /><br />I love wild flowers!!! There's just something about them, how they're overgrown and how you just can't seem to recreate what nature does so well on her own...Andrea Krummelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513717591653797091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-90495416049242534932011-09-27T20:15:02.168+01:002011-09-27T20:15:02.168+01:00Hi I just discovered your blog via My Tiny Plot. G...Hi I just discovered your blog via My Tiny Plot. Great idea, nothing makes me feel happier than wild flowers on a long journey and the added bonus of attracting insects can only be a good thing. I sowed a patch of cornflowers (apparently the were JFK's favourite flower) and poppies this year, they look stunning and are still going strong, hopefully this warm weather we are getting for the rest of this week (I'm a fellow Northern Irelander) will give them a new lease of life! <br /><br />Lovely post and hope your head is feeling better, Sarah xMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141720375489443404noreply@blogger.com
