Started back with our twice-a-month work mornings on Sunday. We usually meet on the Second Sunday and the Fourth Wednesday of each month (SS & FW). So the next one will be Wednesday 26th August.
On Sunday we cleared out all the ragwort we could find. Although it is a good nectar plant and the foodplant for the cinnabar moth caterpillars, we remove it before it seeds into neighbouring farm fields.
We were careful not to mistakenly pull up any St John's Wort (pronounced 'wert' not 'wart'), which flowers at about the same time.
The Ragwort flowers are like yellow daisies while the StJW flowers are like a cluster of five-pointed stars.
