I can tell that summer is on the way because I had to cut the first fronds of bracken down as I was cutting the lawn yesterday It's so invasive
I like ferns because they grow from one base but the bracken invades the garden and the fields and is hellish to get rid of once it's growing. We have 5 acres of land and in some areas the bracken (and brambles) have lost us up to 10 foot of grazing all along the length of the field.
