Dandelion Seeds

Did anyone else get a storm of seeds over the weekend? On Saturday lunchtime and Sunday evening they were blowing onto the allotment like snow. I counted over 100 landing in a minute on an area about a yard square. Thousands of them landed in an old bath used as a water butt in a few hours. On Saturday the intensity of the seed storm was incredible. No wonder weeding is such hard work! It has been mentioned elsewhere, I think, that dandelion is prolific this year. I noticed a couple of weeks ago in Normandy that the roadside verges were absolutely thick with them where normally the yellow colour would be from celandine and/or cowslips.
