Exceptional February weather gets us out in the fields planting some of our small multiplications. Here Charlie is planting some meadow sweet in our test area. #summer or #spring? #DLF #wildflowers

After 20+ years of service our Haldrup 360 has cut it last blade of grass in the UK. It is now on its way to green(er) pastures in the USA! Good luck to our DLF colleagues across the pond with this old girl. DLF USA DLF Seeds UK #teamwork

Getting ready for some gps guided line spraying after this rain. These spraying lines will mark out the trial plots and trim them all to be the same size. First we have to fix the electrical faults…

Our trials technician @Johnmalmond doing a great job rolling the plots. The trials are greening up nicely after a trim and a roll. Soon we will be putting some starter fertiliser on to get things growing in earnest. #keepcalmrollon #DLF

One of our practical experiments, this time on our yellow flag iris. Will the yield/management be better when we clean the old growth away or keep it? What do you think and why? Update to follow after this season’s harvest. #wildflower #seed #production

A little sunshine between the showers and the poly tunnel comes alive. Here we keep some of our breeding material and grow on our nursery plants #DLF #rain #sunshine #spring #polytunnel

With dark clouds in the distance Jon and Mike are putting some spray marks in our heading date trials to mark each row. The rain held off just long enough for the chemical to do it’s job. #DLF #springjobs #rain #sprayandpray

This week's Photo Of The Week is something a little different! 🌻 Wild sunflowers are amazing sources of food for pollinators, attract birds & they add some beauty to your chosen area. Sunflowers also absorb toxic heavy metal contaminants & poisonous chemicals in the soil!
