Each spring, over several weeding sessions, I have to get rid of buckets full of sycamore seedlings that are trying to grow in the veggie plot. Thousands of them get absolutely everywhere. And when it’s not the keys (or more accurately I believe, the samara) that are littering the place, it’s (what I think are) the cast-off male flowers.
Around the perennial kale (which as of the end of 2023 is almost as tall as me)…
Littering the asparagus bed…
Over an early sowing of carrots…
And amongst the shallots…
It’s a good job I don’t need to clear all of them up, unlike the seeds. There are enough issues with blown-in weeds as it is.
