Cellpic Sunday: The Acceptable Face Of Weeds

Every spring, as growth restarts in the garden, we wait to see what will be what we call the ‘Weed of the year’ – the most prolific of the pestilential flora that deserves no place in a civilised garden, but takes over, vastly outnumbering any of its competitors.

Usually it comes down to an unpalatable choice between dandelions or – more likely – nettles. For 2025 however, the winner is – buttercups. They are everywhere this month. They’re so much nicer than any of the usual suspects that it was almost a shame to take the strimmer to them.
