Painstakingly cut out the netting from the gooseberries.

I had put it on in a hurry to save the birds eating all the berries, without thinking ahead to the amount of growth the bushes would put on.. straight up and through the netting.  ???

Took me two hours to release three modest sized bushes.  :ohmy:

Won't be doing that again -- proper fruit cage for next year  :D :D :D

Went up after work and watered the Greenhouse. After that I spent half an hour sat on the bench in my own little world watching the wildlife on the site. Ain't life grand :)

I'm not that convinced the wet weather is doing my shallots a lot of good either  :(
A good burst of warmth might help.

Planted out kale recently.  Watering and weeding like Billy O now that we have had some rain here.  Harvesting lots of stuff at the moment, including my first little batch of dwarf french beans.  We call these squeeky beans on account of the sound they make when you eat them.  Lightly steamed and a little bit of good balsamic vinegar

Yesterday i've got some black currant plants :) They are in the pots, so can plant them when rain will stop and soil become soil.

Admired how well it looked after the torrential rain last night and watered the chillis and peppers
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

finished rotovating the under hedge area, found a vertical metal pipe so I now need to straighten the rotovator shaft bolt.
planted cauli, broccoli and cabbage and put a cane cage over it.
