A lovely field in flower - Is it clover or vetch?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good growing practices- I'm sure your farmers are experts at this.

Such beautiful looking flowers!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful colours. Do the farmers let them die a natural death and then mow the fields so they mix with the soil? I normally pick up fallen leaves and throw them in the compost bin to use as fertilizer. Other times I used to buy bags of cow droppings to add to my soil. But I just have a small garden.

I think some of this has taken over fields and sides of roads here.
