              I've been off the plot for a few days because of the rain. To Do:-

              Pick blackcurrants - the branches are virtually laying down with the fruit at the moment.
              General harvesting - carrots, potatoes, kale, cauli, courgette (maybe), cucumber, some onions and flowers.
              Weed the brassica cage - I did the far side a few days ago, but I need to take up the net and do underneath and the other margin.
              Mow. Dammit.
              Plant out more caulis.
