    Good morning Forkers!   <3  Forza raggazzi!!

    Overcast here and the temperature has dropped (yet again).  Good day for weeding I would say.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    Too wet to garden here for the moment @tui34 … 
    but I must get the Cavolo Nero planted out this week (put those Italian vegetables in their place 😉).

    @Dovefromabove  you go, girl!!  

    I have just been out to check my garden and my Brassicas are doing nicely.  Now, all I have to worry about is the Indian summer we should get in September - when they will all bolt!  Darn!

    Morning all,

    Did a quick lap early doors - no new 'deposits' :), a handful of Cyrils and one dead bird :( Not sure if it is another victim of flying into a window but it was in the same place as the stunned tit last week. It was very light drizzle then, but it is getting increasingly heavy now. A good test for the newly fully connected shed gutter/water butt ;) At long last!!!

    Sunshine here now but not hot as it's so breezy.    More gentle sorting and organising for me this am and then, maybe, some weeding this pm as long as I can do it without kneeling.

    My pointy cabbages have been hen-pecked @tui34  I stuck a dozen plugs in at the end of the bed where I had broad beans and the perishers have got in and "sculpted" most of them.   It's all @Dovefromabove's fault!  She said I should hang up cabbages so the pecking movement would strengthen their necks and now they have a taste for cabbage.  And broccoli.  And PSB.

    At least the hens eating them means that the slugs are going hungry  :D

    There were a couple of slugs in the 2 we got before the hens @Dovefromabove.  The blighters have hopped over the net I had round the block.

    Never mind, we'll see if they want to help me weed the dahlia and squashes bed later.  That should be entertaining.
