23 June : Rain


Ugghhh. Wet June.
Soggy roses, saggy peonies.
Not even going to mention
a strangulation of bindweed.
Nope. Not going there.
On the up side
the ground elder
is playing a blinder.
So there's that.

  1. Trade you your bindweed for my hogweed and thistles...

  5. 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.
