Wound up in Wexford

Greater stitchwort

Another wild flower growing in profusion on our roadside ditch.  It really is a delight at the moment.

It will unfortunately shortly be overtaken by nettles and bracken - this year I am planning to be more proactive in keeping these under some sort of control.  If I keep cutting them back, maybe they'll eventually lose heart and give up - haha.  

I love seeing the outcrops of bluebells on the roadside ditches as I drive around, and as we have a few growing randomly in the composting area, I think I'll dig them up and replant on our ditch,

Another really hot day.  W has created a netting structure to protect our strawberries from the birds - we have lots of flowers.  But we can never grow enough for our needs!  The roadside stalls are appearing - won't be long before I'm tempted to stop on my way home from Wexford each time!
