I don't believe it!

It seems very tardy (I've used that word a lot recently!) of me not to have made an entry here for so long: I don't believe it's over three weeks. It has been a very busy three weeks, and there has been less time on the plot than I would have liked. More to the point, up until the last few days it has also been cold.

On the few trips I have had , it has been a case of earthing up potatoes against the cold, more weeding, covering up delicates that I planted out too early etc. The damage from frost was moderate. I lost one of three courgettes, and about 1/3 of the runner beans. I had only planted these out as I had too many coming on at home, so needed the space.Potatoes had a slight frost nip but seem OK.

I've since replaced them, planted out French beans and more squash of various types. I have also dug up the failing rhubarb, that was past sell by date and bindweed infested. The bits I saved are now in pots and are doing well at home.

Most of all, weeds are doing well, as is the neighbour's neglected gooseberry hedge!
