Planting, then seeding

Another day with the Cumbria Wildlife Trust meadow team, this time at Haybridge nature reserve in the Rusland Valley.  This morning we planted water-loving plants in the marshy area (meadowsweet, angelica, marsh marigold etc), hoping the deer won't find them too tempting.  This afternoon we sowed seed in a traditional hay meadow, using the traditional method of sowing by hand on a warm, sunny and windless day (see extra).
