Hacked my way into one of the fruit bush areas planted about 15 years ago with some plants I moved from the allotment when I gave it up. I've ignored it this year as there was a blackbird nesting in the middle and I didn't want to disturb her.
A trailing ?tayberry has roamed over the bushes and tip-rooted; periwinkle has invaded and covered the ground, there's bracken and brambles, nettle, hogweed and dock, ivy on the fence posts and you have to duck under the overhanging branches of an apple tree.
Despite the "help" of the chooks and dogs, I was doing quite well, until the deluge. We all ran back to our respective shelters and had lunch.
I went on the hunt of the Yellow Stickers this afternoon - first time for weeks. Managed to track down 63 items for £27 and that includes a box of wine for £15. The dogs are dining on ready cooked hot chicken portions tonight. For example, 2 chicken breasts reduced from £3.50 to 18p. I spoil those dogs.
