The weather over the Easter period has so far been exceptionally nice which is unusual for a Bank Holiday. You might think there’s a lockdown going on and that we’re all supposed to stay at home rather than making the most of the brilliant weather. Anyhow, Saturday became the warmest day of the year as the thermometer reached 22.7°C (72.9°F) which is very pleasant for the middle of April.

In our pond the Marsh Marigold has come into flower. I didn’t think it was going to manage to overcome the watercress which is taking over the pond.
Last spring I cleared out nearly all the watercress and the little bit I left in appeared to die off. Clearly it didn’t and it has returned with a vengeance. It’s days are numbered though as I intend to remove most of it again.

I would like to order a watercress sandwich (watercress, bread and butter), to be delivered, before it all goes away, please.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should put some on eBay? Can't do the bread though as flower is impossible to buy!
DeleteActually I really want to grow watercress. That's one of my favorite vegetable.
ReplyDeleteAll this came from throwing one piece of watercress into the pond a couple of years ago.
DeleteBe careful what you wish for?
