    What's your weather like 2026

    We’ve had a bit of rain and it’s forecast light rain on and off all weekend. Lovely when the sun does peep out though.

    Ants farming aphids on rhubarb is a new one for me. I've had them do it on broad beans but never thought to check the rhubarb. Might have a look at mine this weekend now.
