Weeds.....

Rain and thunder last night and a lot of torrential downpours today. The first time in nearly 2 months I have had to put the wellies and leggings on !
Had a walk over the field of reseed grass which is suffering with the drought and looking very patchy. The clover has come ,and some patches of grass ,but there are an awful lot of bare bits . Hopefully the grass on these has still to germinate. What we don’t want is that it has germinated and died off again.
Still , the weeds are growing fine. This is a selection of some of the main ones. They include docks, thistles, day nettles, fat hen, shepherds purse, and a few others. May need a spray if they get too bad , but that is another cost and can give the young clover a severe check.
The contractor up with more straw . Of course as soon as I started to empty the bales the heavens opened again - autumn has arrived ?
