Pulled up tons and tons of sticky willies (not sure of the correct name but they stick and sting!
Also tried to clear out a massive area where roses are growing, it doesn't look as if I've done much, it's pretty dense with all sorts of growth.
Did more planting out and seed sowing.
Hoed all the veg patches and tied up any veg that needed it.

Mr Kathy's dahlias were covered in greenfly but my tomatoes are fine even though they're right next to them. I've been using a garlic spray on the tomatoes but never thought to spray the dahlias.

E and I had a nice time potting up strawberry runners and picking plums. By the way, that apple collecting gadget that was being sold in Lidls works great with plums too.
Paths are all hoed, more weeding, planting and sowing. Peppers, tomatoes and courgettes have all had more feeding and the brassicas have had a light covering of dung.

Still spraying the greenhouse stuff with garlic spray, no flys so far, touch wood.  Smile

Put straw around the carrots and parsnips, started removing the fallen tree.
It's all looking very weedy and folorn, really must get more done..............
