Well phone didn't tell porkies after all & sun even came out for a bit & it hit a balmy 13 1/2 degrees. Mulched the 2 red raspberry beds, took longer than I expected weeding the grass out as it was inconveniently right under the bushes & the strawy muck I use for mulching had been rained on & very heavy to fork and wheelbarrow back. Dug, fed & limed a couple of beds for some cabbage & cauli plants I bought at Lidl's - it's OK I remembered the kitten crunchies I went in for!
Biggest issue was the rats though, loads of droppings around & they had dug up some of my First Earlies & had a wee nibble, fortunately not around the chitted ends, they now have chicken wire over them & I have bought a bait box & bait to sort them rats out,well when delivered anyway. We had a plot holder with bad hen hygiene about 50 metres down who was asked to leave, unfortunately my neighbour who is scrupulous in his welfare of the chicken is the next closest, so they have migrated down my way. Gross & disgusting, but fortunately I have sealed up the shed so at least not going in there anymore.
