Thank you Shante (need to fix your spelling with an acute...sorry! I'll get onto Google!).

Yes the manicured lawns are so iffy. I'm going to try and rake over my grass this weekend,and then I am going to experiment with my wildflowers and natives.

Council doesn't allow wildflowers on the easement...in case someone trips!!!!

But I plan to plant on my land, and if the seeds stray...and they will in the following years, not my problem. They might even think they should copy.

I understand that in France, wildflowers are big time.

Thanks Shante
