Last Spring the fields where we walk the dog were so full of poppies that I think they must have been sown on purpose. It seemed to be a mix of poppy and barley. It was a glorious sight.
The fields last Spring
Then, one day, we went for our walk and the fields had been cut! It was so disappointing but, they're not my fields - there must have been a reason. Since then nothing else was planted and the fields have lain fallow with thistles, daisies and all kinds of wild plants taking over.
Out walking yesterday I noticed that the poppies are staging a 'come-back'! They truly are tenacious plants - and a very welcome sight, especially at the back-end of the year. I felt thoroughly cheered-up.
