Been down today to do a bit of weeding. Cleared the unused patches and covered them in black sheeting and sheared the grass round the patches.
Sophie had a bit of trouble with Moira’s bees so cut her weeding short but I stayed a bit longer to finish off; after getting cankles from a bee sting a few weeks ago she didn’t want to risk anymore definition reducing swelling.
It looks like Rob’s Leeks have got rust which is a fungal infection. We may have to cull the badly infected but if it prevents the rest of the crop being lost then it’s well worth it. Rob’s away at a festival at the minute, so I’ll break the news to him when he gets back.
Me and Sophie are dog-sitting at Robbie and Michelle’s tonight. Robbie has cultivated an awesome set of Habanero chili’s and a Birds Eye – I am jealous (pics at the bottom)
