And planting of course - I've opened another plot this week. Come next spring we'll have purple sprouting broccoli coming out of our ears (now there's an image). But that has really just been an interlude on the main task - weeding weeding weeding.

They like the warm soil. And it's a sign summer is almost upon us. So it must be good news. They're not really biting yet, much. But soon. Soon.
