There is a huge field of rape only 20m from my window and they have sprayed that fairly recently. FP, I am having a slight allergic reaction too - it's the first time they've grown rape in that field since I've been here. It doesn't smell very nice either, does it...
I hate it Elfin and it seems to have become the main crop around us. Everywhere is yellow!
Yes it smells awful, and over the years weed rape has established on all the verges. This is the first year that I have really been badly affected by it and it is spoiling my walks with the dogs!
Actually, I do not walk my dogs in or along the sides of any fields that have been recently sprayed. It can make them ill.
