I had to go out and do some weeding today. The state of the veg beds was quite distressing, with Hairy Bittercress like this:
and sycamore seedlings already out of the ground and growing away.
I managed to get two and a half beds done, dodging rain showers, and in fact when the Sun came out it was so pleasant just being outdoors. I didn’t have the heart to dig these up though.
On the positive side, the PSB is finally producing heads. Last Winter we were eating it from November and by mid-February many of the plants were all but over, but this time it has taken so long to be ready. I’m guessing because the second half of last year was quite dull and wet.
I guess that means we could end up with a glut over the next few weeks. Not that it would be a hardship.
I also sorted through some carrots that the mice have found. They were stored in trays of compost on top of a table so I’m not sure how they managed it, but clearly they found a route up somehow. I’ll need to find a better solution for next Winter.
