The starchy root of Lords and Ladies was once used to produce a home made version of arrowroot. This was called Portland sago. As all parts of the plant are poisonous it was not otherwise consumed.

On Thursday (24 March) I popped down to the wood to see if the numbers of flowers out around my TrackaTree trees had changed at all, now that the nights are getting less cold. They had not, but elsewhere in the wood the Wood anemones are starting to come out, with smaller numbers of Lesser celandines. This is what we would expect to see at about this time of year.
