It was very windy today and when I turned up at the plot I could see from a distance that the tomatoes must be done – they looked quite bare and yellow. I saved a few red Romas and then picked a couple of handfuls of green Red Alerts and Romas, before cutting up the plants for the council bin.

I uncovered this hairy caterpillar among the leaves – a pale tussock moth caterpillar.

The lupin by the pond is having a great second life. The little antirrhinum has also flowered too – not exactly the ground cover plant I was aiming for.
