The reed canary grass is growing fast. There is hardly any HWD apart from a scrawny specimen on the island, just in front of the weeping willow. Las year we had a few pockets of it on the right-hand side.
Little Venice is more visible this year – still very soft and muddy, turfed with mats of common water starwort, rather than grass. Because the watermeadow was flooded for such a long time over the winter, it has taken a toll on the footpaths, and many are still barren of vegetation.
