My husband has recently been quite seriously scarred by a weed - a hogweed which sprays you with sap which then reacts with sunlight to create huge blisters. It can take months for the effects to disappear. I was similarly attacked by cleavers or goosegrass which left a long scar on the back of my hand. We have bought a strimmer to beat them and the nettles back.
Thank you! I love reading your comments and even though I don't always have time to reply I am really grateful to every one who joins in the conversation.
Trade you your bindweed for my hogweed and thistles...
ReplyDeleteI have lots of cleavers - free to a good home.
ReplyDeleteWeeds - they keep us on our toes :-)
ReplyDeleteI run a good line in creeping buttercups........
