Before setting off on my big shed tidy, I took some photos of the plot as it’s looking so good. There is still lots to come – sunflowers, sweet peas, runner beans, tomatoes etc…

I found more eggs in the pond, nearer the front, so I could get a better photo. The brown almond shape of the centre now makes me wonder if it’s lines of snail eggs looking like a cluster because they put it around the loose fronds of the hornwort. I also saw my first damselfly this year, flying just very briefly above the pond.

The shed has had a thorough tidy and clear out. I’m aiming to get some better cell inserts, trays and root trainers for next season, so definitely broken and unwanted items have been thrown out. I’ve kept some good seed trays and lids for now; they’re a standard size so might be of use. I’ve got rid of most of my copper rings as I don’t use them much any more. The slugs seem to have disappeared, so if I do manage to encourage them back to get frogs and toads, I can always make more rings.
