The caterpillars in the tunnel (large whites) have migrated from nasturtiums outside (which they have reduced to stalks) and they have managed to crawl under the tunnel netting. The nasturtiums are pretty, but I don't much like eating them, so I will not be allowing them to grow again.

Decided that the most urgent job was cutting the hedge in the back garden as I wanted that done before it starts raining again. For the last few years my cold frame has been on the path next to the hedge and as I'm getting older it was becoming increasingly difficult to cut the hedge around it, so I decided that this time it was going to be moved to the allotment (the lid is broken and needs attention, which was impossible where the cold frame was). Doing that, cutting the hedge and taking the trimmings to the tip took up a large chunk of the day.
