Didn't get the threatened rain or storm yesterday.  Bright start this morning but now drizzling.

 Sag bol tonight , rest of pineapple and yogurt for me ice cream for him 

This is my second year of growing strawberries in containers. With the arrival of the hot weather I noticed that some of the plants were not looking well despite having been fed and watered. Today I think I found the culprit. I was checking them over and came across a weevil. I presume she will not be alone. What is my best course of action given that I wont use any insecticides in my organic, bee loving allotment?

Google AI is being a pain... I think we have it resolved now, but will keep a close eye. Effectively I reduced the ad load on the main website so it improved readability and google AI therefore decided to swamp the forums instead. We now have a set ad load and exclusions for the forums, plus removing some fixed ads in the next day or so, which should mean things are better. It's a balancing act as google ad income keeps the forums running, but obviously we don't want it to be intrusive and unreadable either.  Any issues please post in here so I can trouble shoot as they come up. Thanks! Cara

Had a bit of rain overnight and now it's brightening up before more rain later in the afternoon. Perfect planting weather.
