So the plants were planted in the grass ? You might do that with crocuses and snowdrops, but not generally summer plants.

The plants growing and flowering in the grassed area appear to me to be self sewn oil seed rape seedlings - but I may be wrong.

I thought that too Kath - self-set rape, either blown by the wind and dropped, or birds ate the seeds and then dropped them.

pigeons were busy in that area when it was first seeded they could have dropped some in them.

note that the herring gull looks on in disdain, probably dreaming of half inching someones takeaway.
the grasses are coming along nicely now.

So the fencing was on the ground on the 12th June. It's back up today and is a complete and utter eyesore. Whoever was responsible for thinking it would ever look anything but? Just take it down and give some kind of elegance park to out town,please

had a quick look earlier at the sea-front/gateway flats planters, pleasant enough but not up to the standard of previous years.

The big advantage with all the rain we keep getting is nice green grass everywhere.
