2024 - What I did today

Tied in the climbing french beans and runners which were looking a bit disheveled after recent windy days.
Tied the climbing winter squash to their obelisk supports. Did some hand pollinating too as I spotted some female flowers.
Planted out additional Blue Lake CFB, borage, zinnias and rudbeckia.
Sowed wallflowers and forget-me-nots.
Squished all the black aphids I could see on the dahlia stems. My fingers were covered in black juice, such a lovely job!

I've got black fingers too. So many blackfly. I've got to be careful not to go with instinct and wipe my fingers  off on my jeans bottom, sitting down after tends to leave a Rorscach picture.
