I always wish I’d kept notes, but never do!

I think you should. We've had very little success with surface sowing in our wildflower poly tunnels. I poke bigger seeds like knapweed about 1cm down and scrape some compost over the hole. With tiny seed we sometimes just cover with perlite/vermiculite.

Lovely! I know the Edge well – my partner grew up in the village, with a view of the Edge from the house.

Fabulous. They always seem to be nectaring on Red Clover don't they? The last one I saw (20 years ago) was in Sussex – walking along the Seven Sisters. We live in North Lancashire. Clouded Yellows much more unusual here than on the south coast I think.

It's a beautiful place, and quite unlike any other church I've been in.
