    I had to split my day. I managed to clean my bike in my two hour break. I would have loved to do gardening because it’s nice warm with 16c and often sunny or slightly clouded. Just perfect, but what can one do if you have to work. I bet it will rain over the weekend.

    Is this some sort of celandine?

    @Palustris I'll wait for it to flower. It's wedged itself between a geranium and a veronica. If it behaves like the lesser jobs, it's unlikely to do any harm.

    You can always block out their faces to make them sort of 'anonymous' , but if they're in the distance and nobody can make out who they are it should not matter.

    Strawberries preparing

    The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.
