It turns out to be Oxford Ragwort, (<em>Senecio squalidus), <\/em>introduced from Sicil<em>y, <\/em>which is known to colonise disturbed soil along railway lines. And our site backs onto the Overground. It is harmless, unlike Common Ragworth (<em>Senecio jacobaea<\/em>), which is thought to be harmful to livestock. (Not that they are any horses here!) I didn\u2019t see any bees or other pollinators on it, but according to Buglife, it is a good nectar source for insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few patches of dandelions &#8211; \u00a0excellent food for many small mining and furrow bees &#8211; lots of the delicate, pink Herb-robert (<em>Geranium robertianum<\/em>) &#8211; a foodplant and nectar-source for many invertebrates including bees, hoverflies and the barred carpet moth &#8211;  and stinging nettles that caterpillars of the small tortoiseshell and peacock butterflies use as foodplants. I saw some ladybirds, which feast on aphids that shelter among the nettles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of grass has grown and  unfortunately Goosegrass (<em>Galium Aparine<\/em>), also known as Sticky Grass or Sticky Willy is taking over. \u00a0My research found that although its tiny flowers have been observed being visited by a wide range of insects, including various flies, small wasps, Lepidoptera, ants, bees (both short- and long-tongued) and beetles, it has also been noted that insects visit flowers only \u201csparingly.\u201d Additionally, self-pollination is common due to the minute structure of the flower\u2014\u201cwhen the stigmas mature\u2026 they always touch the anthers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/LCbiggerpatch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/LCbiggerpatch.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3669\" data-link=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/?attachment_id=3669\" class=\"wp-image-3669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/LCbiggerpatch.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/LCbiggerpatch-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lamiumorvala.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lamiumorvala.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3670\" data-link=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/?attachment_id=3670\" class=\"wp-image-3670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lamiumorvala.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lamiumorvala-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/stachysbyzantina-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/stachysbyzantina-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3675\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/stachysbyzantina-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/?attachment_id=3675\" class=\"wp-image-3675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/stachysbyzantina-1.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/stachysbyzantina-1-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One area I\u2019ve manged to keep clear of it, is where I planted dwarf comfrey and balm-leaved deadnettle in July.
