      Oh that's beautiful Woo .
      We have a farm that also grows it too which is not far from us. We actually passed it the other day when we travelled from my brother's place to Winchester. They always look so bright and cheery...even on a grey day!! Like fields of sunshine :SUNsmile: :)

        That'll pong...

        "Do you know any beekeepers in the area" is another observation. They might be able to let you have some jars of mildly-flavoured honey that's as hard as a rock (or semi-set if they have processed it that way)

            Ahh bless her I bet she had a fun walk. Yes it's amazing the height it can grow to.
            Where my Dad use walk all of his dogs the woodlands area was surrounded by the crop, the sight was breathtakingly beautiful especially first thing in the morning ! I use to walk with him at least once a week.....happy memories indeed.:)
            Enjoy your day Woo.x

                I am a fellow sufferer but know what sets me off and then I keep an eye on which pollens are active on a daily basis in our area and medicate if needs be. Seems to work, if not always eliminating the symptoms it usually eases them significantly to allow me to get on with my day. :biggrin: :dbgrtmb:
