User's notes
as I said in autumn: this will be a Paterson's Curse season which includes all annual herbaceous weeds such as CW, thistles, sowthistles, etc ; drought & overgrazing reduced dramatically any native ground-cover, followed significant rain in March when the soil was still warm and voila .... the soil seed bank explodes.
