Title: Daisies
Post by: in the hills on July 08, 2021, 08:09:01 pm

I've been given, what I believe to be,  some ox eye daisies.


I hope to plant them in my wild flower area which runs alongside the field where our sheep are kept. If they survive and eventually spread are they safe if the sheep decide to eat them?
