WhatsApp pinged as soon as I arrived and while I was reading the message the spitfire came over and did a roll, then a flock of honking geese flew over the shed.

I finally mowed the grass mohawk on 3,   which has helped the look an amount, though of course the edges have already grown. It’s a bit annoying how much time and energy this and deadheading takes, when I’d like to be doing some proper sit down weeding and clearing.

Blight is definitely around, but I’m still harvesting some Romas and one Red Alert. There are a bunch of green Red Alert, so we’ll see if they have time to ripen.

I cleared up the windfalls and continued my slow start on tidying up, pulling up candytufts and spreading their seed in the borders. I’ve taken the runner bean roots out of Bed 7, but there’s lots of weeding yet to do. Bed 11 feels like it could be cleared, but when you look at it you realise how busy the nasturtiums and marigolds still are.
