My wife loves her flowers---I always thought that if it wasn't traded on the Chicago board of trade it was a weed. But I must be mellowing out in my old age. We put 1.41 acres above the pond in the reserve program to act as a filter for sediment. I wanted to put brome grass in like the rest of my strips but no dice-I had to put in the "Bee Poop" /pollinator mix. That was last year and I was allowed to mow it for 2 years after. I mowed it every week last year and twice this year in April and then I let it go. I think it is looking good-wife says them are Daisies blooming. Last fall the Mrs. and the one daughter saved their seed heads from their flowers and we shelled them out this spring and threw them in the air on a windy day on the 1.41 acres so the mix is starting to show up. Cone flowers in the one picture.-----Old Tee
