We had very heavy rain today, which left a layer of tiny bits of Birch catkins over every surface - car, cold frame, paths, soil surface.  Did anyone else have this?  Does it happen every year or is this a mast year?
And did they come in the rain itself like cats and dogs, or were they blown by the wind?  Anyone know?
Whatever, we are due to become a birch forest this year
