Weeds are coming back depressingly fast out the front so I'd like to get on top of them tomorrow.

The "lawn" also needs mowing after the heavy rain we had last week so I want to make a start on that tomorrow.

Picked up 18 very full bags of rabbit hutch waste yesterday so will be mixing them into the compost this morning.

Hilled up two bags of potatoes for the final time at 5am.

Mostly mowing and edging needs doing today, but I do need to fashion a net for the bok choi and pak choy babies as there are lots of cabbage whites around.

Will probably give the veggies a drink of liquid fertiliser today, too.
