One last session

John and I took a walk up to Cogmill, clearing a few stragglers on the way up there. A little before the metal footbridge, there were a couple of clumps on both sides of the river. Some seeds were ripe so we were careful to collect and bag as many as we could. We then moved upstream beyond the metal footbridge clearing and bagging as we went. Apart from one or two deepish spots this stretch was quite easy to wade.

Some plants had already shed all their seeds and were starting to die back. Next year, we'll have to try to tackle this area earlier.
