Wild!

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 29, 2016 - 4:40pm

Three years, a lot of hard work, and $200 worth of seeds gets you a quarter acre of countless blooms. Tammy (pictured) and Mike Bradshaw have developed an eyecatching display in front of their home in the country midway between Ada and Bluffton. In late June the wildflower meadow garden bursts into yellow. Soon, other colors will emerge. You'll find bachelor buttons, daisies, and more. To drive past to see the flower display from Ada, take County Line Road north, cross Old US 30, it's in the next mile on the left.

A little of the top, please

Let's mow once more in June and see what happens in July. The Bluffton University campus had its green grass shaved earlier this week. Maybe July will be so dry that mowing won't be necessary.
