    The disease list is a bit terrifying when you see it all written out like that. In practice though I've never had anything worse than a bit of blight and the odd slug hole, and that's replanting my own seed potatoes for a few years running now. Probably tempting fate saying that.

    What's your weather like 2026

    It was a very bright and sunny day today, but chilly in the shade. It has only just started to cloud over and eventually rain will set in over night and tomorrow. Better on Sunday and Monday.

    Think one of the biggest draws to rats is BBQs, especially 'chilled out' neighbours, not tiding up, or leaving the tidying until morning after a jolly good BBQ.
