The wild flower bank 
It’s September now and I have been growing Foxgloves, Oxeye daisies and poppies to plant into this part of the garden.
I have killed off patches of rye grass to make way for my new wild flower plants, and will strim the long grass bank and score the ground before planting
Bare patches waiting fo the oxeye daisies and poppies 
I also have a lot of baby Holly hocks and a buddleia plant (purple), and there’s loads of yellow Jerusalem artichoke in the herbaceous border.
I plan to plant the Holly hocks against the top fence and transfer some of the yellow flowers along the lane side fence.

Hollyhocks and Buddleia 
Jerusalem artichokes along the fence – transplanted from the herbaceous border.
September 18th
I have strimmed the grass very short and scarified the ground.
The Hollyhocks are in at the top, against the wall with a Buddleia to the left of them by the fence.
Four patches of Oxeye daisies, a few poppy plants and a Verbena so far.
So far so good!
I’m going to sow wild flower seeds in October, with generous proportion of Yellow Rattle to discourage the grass, and then I will sit back and wait and see what comes up next year!
