I haven't managed to get up to the plot for two days. I've just come back from a nighttime watering run and I'm devistated.
The plot looks a right mess!
Bloody creeper vines EVERYWHERE so much that you can barely see the onions and something has been eating my radishes!
I'm gutted.
All this lovely weather and a bit of rain has made everything go crazy. The weeds and the pests especially. I'm going to sit here with my tea of not home-grown food and wallow in self pity.
I think that flea beetles have had the radishes, though there was a lot of ants in the soil, could they be the culprits?
I'll go back up tomorrow with a fresh head to tackle the weeds and rip out the rest of the munched radishes.
