Ragwort in Jan!!

[Polos Mum]

Here in Lincs it seems spring has come very early, birds are constantly singing, grass is growing, ponies are back out 24/7 in med weight rugs and it's warm and sunny!

Why is there always a cloud! Today I have filled a feed sack of ragwort - which sadly is also growing like mad at the moment.

Is spraying of any value at this time of the year - given the weather conditions?

I've seen a few posts from people who only uses certain fields in winter because of ragwort - so a word of warning to those, please do double check your fields are still safe. This is a very odd year indeed.

I just noticed a fairly healthy looking rosette in our paddock.

Saw some in flower on my hack, today. Couldn't believe my eyes!

Crazy for this time of year, sadly we're next to a disused railway line, fab for hacking but not good for the dreaded weed! I've been told the seed last 25 years in the ground so I'm fully prepared for many many more years of digging to come - just shocked to see how much has come up in Jan !
