Earthed up all the potatoes, the earlies should have been done a few weeks ago. As I went down the rows, there were 2 juvenile robins scavenging for tit-bits following me. I thought they were mice at first scurrying in the foliage. While doing this, I could hear a ticking noise on the patio and had visions of triffids shedding their seeds but it was only a thrush helping itself to a serving of escargot.
Then weeded a strawberry bed untouched since last year. I was pleasantly surprised at being able to take off the netting quite easily. The buttercups were setting seeds so I pocketed the seed heads for disposal. I just need to make a frame to keep squirrels out tomorrow and hopefully we will have some strawberries quite soon.
I might water some of the garden after tea.
