Japanese knot weed a real menace

Every year I look forward to the wonderful display of daffodils that bloom along the road from Cork Airport down Airport Hill to the Bull McCabe’s.

With the mild winter the daffodils were early this year, with the first flowers appearing at the end of February and, though it is April, the last of the daffodils are still to be enjoyed. I would like to thank those in Cork County Council who had the foresight to plant them many years ago.

However, I have, for the last couple of years, noticed that the Airport Hill daffodils have a competitor which this year seemed to be displacing large sections of them.
