Simply Sims with Steve Sims....
Have you noticed the state of Luton’s Popes Meadow in recent months?
It was the site of the Love Luton Festival concerts last July and, as they took place in the traditional festival wet weather, the land was transformed into something of a bog.
Not to worry though, the land which earned a Green Flag award last year would be back to its original condition within a couple of months... the council assured us.
The grass may have grown back but what we’re left with is a bit of a patchy result.
Just take a look at the photo on right. What we’ve got (if newsprint shows it off well enough) are huge chunks of dark green grassland among the lighter green areas which didn’t have to be reseeded.
Did they use the wrong variety of grass seed? When I extended my back lawn by sowing some extra seed, the colour match although not perfect was nothing like this.
Perhaps it needs some time in the sun to fade it?
Take a look at the video to see some footage from the location.
