4 week progress and the Meadow is begining to take shape, Id say about 65% of the area has now started sprouting but there is a large area that doesnt seem to be growing. The trees are obviously casting to much of a shadow on this patch so unfortunately the meadow isn’t really going to fill the plot equally. The areas where the sun blasts through the trees are really vigorous so it’s almost like painting with light as the area that shines through gives the most growth.
I recently spoke with a neighbour of mine who was walking along canal paths in Worsley and sowing wildflower seeds, again he found that after a few weeks hardly any had sprouted, I think that we take for granted how important sunlight is in the development of new life and especially seedlings, if the conditions are not right they will just not grow.
If the guerilla interventions I have planned are to be succesful then the chosen plots will have to have good full sunlight for most of the day, so most plots will have to be south facing.
