    What's your weather like 2026

    Oo it’s quite windy again so any breaks between rain showers aren’t great for being outside so I’ll have to make do with seedling watering indoors.

    Rhubarb Bolting In March

    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.
