The triangle field
- 1st July 2 in path on walk to far fields
- 11th July Whilst clearing a path across the bottom of the triangle field I noticed one but didn't pull it.
- 16th July Whilst clearing a path cross the far fields I noticed one but didn't pull it.
- 17th July 4 off the path cross the bottom of the triangle field. Pulled the one I noticed yesterday in the far fields and found 13 more in the north east corner, Some were multi-stem with the major stem being nearly 2cm across. They filled over half a bag.
These large plants are likely due to previous pullings that left viable roots. - 21st July 3 to the south of the path to the far fields in the triangle field.

- 18th July 21 from sides of path to the far fields, half a bag
- 15th July Pulled 4 the west of the path to top, one of which was BIG and I got fork to dig the root. And other BIG lower down to the right; so big with root I emptied the bag with only 5 plants.
37 more to the sides of path to the far fields, many big and just about filled a bag. Took the fork with me; probably a good idea to always use it to ensure I get the roots. - 30th June Pulled 1 from the path to Montbretia
