I spent another three hours just weeding. Bindweed is coming up everywhere now the couch and nettle has gone. millions of annual weeds too, but they're easier to deal with.

My carrots are growing superbly under their net curtains. I picked a bag full of new chard (with blackfly), radish (with sluggy nibbles), one beetroot, onions (bolted) for tea. Got lots blackfly on spring sown Broads...picked out all the tops and did lots of squishing.

Planted out my celeriac, but forgot to protect them from slugs
Had a furtle under my Arran Pilots: only got one worth eating though.

Gave my French Beans a talking-to, because they aren't even trying to climb up their poles. Planted out another courgette to replace the one the gales killed. Planted out Mars pumpkin and Butternut anywhere I could fit them.

Applied grass clipping mulch to potato bed, and raspberry bed (they love the moisture).
