Wednesday 4th June 2025 - Stone Farm, Blackwater GG #1033

 Terry's photos












Sometimes things just don’t work as originally planned so we were back to Himalayan Balsam pulling this week.  However, this time we were based at Stone Farm in Blackwater, north of where we were last week.  Waders and wellies were donned.  Sticks to support us in the terrain and to bash nettles with were selected and off we went.  The team split up into small groups to target several areas and the hunt for HB was on.  Some of the stands of HB were surprisingly tall for the time of year, and yet other areas had very tiny plants.  The upside of HB pulling is that it is a convivial task and there is a lot of chat!

Thanks to Terry for the photos.
