With all the recent alternating rain and sun there has been quite a lot of growth in our garden... and unfortunately, not all of it is welcome! The current critical project is the removal of every instance of this stupid stickyweed. It grows fast, seems to prefer the humid and damp soil areas that are shaded, and as its name implies.... sticks to everything with little hooks in its leaves.

The root structure is also pretty thin and easily breaks, and so it you have to be pretty through and careful when uprooting it to make sure that you are definitely getting everything... otherwise you are going to be doing the same task a few more times.

Thankfully, the other invasive pest plants like the passionfruit seem to be held at bay at the moment... so, I can devote one morning a week to this stickyweed search and destroy missions!

... and for some reason, this year, the symptoms of hay fever are starting to hit myself and the little one. Not sure if the grass pollen count is higher... or if it is just a side-effect of having my face down in the grass whilst dealing with weeds and other unwanted growths... and the grass in the wrong spots!

My brother and mother suffer really badly from hay fever... myself, almost nothing until this year. The little one has been helping me out a bit in the garden, and she has a bit of a scratchy throat, headache, and runny nose... so, I finally succumbed and bought some hayfever medicine. A little tablet before going out in the garden. Seems to work!

Annoying... but I would rather do this instead of getting slightly funny feeling in the afternoon.
