Although it is kind of the wrong time of year to start growing meadow seeds, July is a fantastic time to see meadow plants thriving. That is if you find them by a river and not in the parched brown open fields we are seeing currently.
I find myself noticing wild flowers and diverse grasslands everywhere I go at the moment, noting what is flowering now and how quickly these types of plants mature. Wild flowers and herbs tend to be opportunists and seem to be doing well in the current climate. With lots of perennial plants dying back from drought, the little shallow rooted flowers, good at growing in nutrient poor soil, are making the most of it.
