    I staked everything early this year - felt like a professional plant wrangler jabbing the stakes in here and thereimage

    Even remembered the giant chicory weed that last year fell over and broke a holly hockimage...I'm bound to have missed something though...

    Stormy weather forecast tonight - think I'd better tie everything down.  image

    We've just been out there and tied the autumn raspberries to the fence with a length of this http://www.tuckers-countrystores.com/gardman-wire-twists-x-100-green-130mm-12100-765779999/  so they don't thrash about and get damaged in the high winds we're supposed to be getting.

    I've got (or had) a lovely stand of corn cockle. No doubt they will be wrecked by the morning image
