Grass colours may vary lightly, but you won't look over your fence and see vivid, dark green grass in your neighbours lawn when yours is yellow and sun-bleached. In England, field patterns are fairly ordered and even. It's rare to see field layouts looking like some colour-blind God chucked a load of sprinklies over the terrain.
Some of what you say is laughable.

I've just spent the last 3 months cultivating 3000 acres in south-east Kent, mainly driving this,





I'm now contact Avadexing all over south-east Kent, currently down on New Romney Marsh and must of driven over 6000 acres of fields so far this year in Kent, and can assure you the fields are definitely not fairly ordered and even.

Oh, and just for kicks this is from about 2 weeks ago,

over Caple Le fern,





Some picks from last week,







In my most humble opinion, i feel i'm probably more qualified than most to comment on the fields in south-east Kent.

Now as to the colours, well, i agree they're wrong, but they've always been wrong.

imo however they are the least wrong they've been so far.

However, it is impossible to create a map that represents how SE England looked during the BoB, simply because thats when the landscape is changing the most, the start of the battle the crops are beginning to ripen, and by the end, they've been harvested, and the fields re cultivated, so what 'time' do you pick?
