You could try getting some local honey, from bees that have been collecting from the flowers. It may help & nothing lost by trying this old tip re hay fever.

Muffy.

Depends when it was sown.
I have a field at the back of me with Rapeseeds, but it has already gone brown,so I expect it will be harvested earlier than some.

Apparently the Bees don't like it either !! LOL They have been reduced in numbers due to the pesticides used ...

I love the smell of it :-D...... but don't suffer sinus.

Just carry on with yer Smog mask !

Researching:
Tregaskis- Blatchford- Bunker- ONeil.... Cornwall & Devon ( Ingram) Dorset .Bean Kent & Norfolk

Muffy,

You only need a yashmak if it is yashing down :-)

you'd better get a yashmak or a burkha - this'll probably be reported now for racism!!! everything else seems to be getting reported today!!

Hi Muffy,

try this link

http://www.tracingpaper.org.uk/2007/08/03/harvesting-rapeseed-black-seeds-for-golden-oil/

I'm not sure that it may help but I googled 'rapeseed harvesting' and this one came up. It is a UK site so may give an accurate seasonal schedule

Regards

Allan

Have a field full of it next door and every field for miles around seems jam packed with the stuff this year.

It's really affected my sinus's and I just wondered if anyone on here knows traditionally when it will be harvested so I can get my nose and throat back lol x
