What is broom bash season? It is the short window where the broom growing everywhere along our roadways is in bloom but has not yet set seed. Experts acknowledge this as the best time to eliminate the unwanted species.
Call to action...grab your loppers when you go for a walk and chop down any broom you find at ground level. Meet up with a neighbour and clean out a patch. I was able to get most of the broom along the hill down to the ferry Thursday morning simply while I was waiting in line. Grab loppers while you are waiting at the ferry...there is still lots right behind the signs at the top of the hill. Or at numerous places around the Island.
Lets bash that broom!
