In the garden at 6.00 this morning splitting sunflowers and planting more runner beans as I was expecting heavy rain today and wanted to do this beforehand. Hey presto the rain came at about 11.00 and the garden is getting a very much needed watering.

just an hour this afternoon, weeded round my caulis and broccoli and cleared more grasses from the wild half. found a weedy needy looking rhubarb under all the grass and pesky extra raspberry canes, hooray!
also found 3 crowns which had been bought earlier and lost under the stack of tools - looking very peaky but shoved them in anyway ;)

All I seem to be doing is harvesting fruit! Now got 7.7kg of blackcurrants in the freezer, which is 3kg more than last year. :shock: Don't know why so many more, the bushes are about 5 years old. Now onto redcurrants which is not my favourite job.

Picked more broad beans and dug some new potatoes. Collected duck eggs - loads of duck eggs at the moment, but the hens seem to have slowed down a bit. Sowed carrot seed inside the polytunnel and some cabbage seeds. Weeding, weeding, weeding - not doing it much, just wish someone else would! Never seen so many weeds as this year.
