Bloody Dandelions!

We were told off today because our dandelions are getting out of hand – well, told off in an allotment it-has-been-mentioned would-you-kindly kind of a way! (Aren’t allotment manners are just fabulous?!)

And rightly so. The bloody things are everywhere, loads of them, at every stage of growth – buds, flowers, seed-heads and blown away.

There was no spade to hand (we have no shed) so the ones we couldn’t pull out we dead-headed instead. At every turn a new clump that couldn’t possibly have been there before(?) appeared.

Quite how we’re going to keep them away is anyone’s guess…
