.... it's a comfort thing ;-)
A quick trip to the allotment tooled up with miscellaneous netting. Large grade stuff covered the poles I put in for the peas to climb up. This saves me putting loads of bamboo poles in for the plants to wind up and lets them just get on with it. Much smaller stuff was draped over what is left of the cabbage patch and pinned down to prevent birds getting back in and finishing off what they missed the first time around.
The cauliflower bed is pretty much gone so I didn't even bother netting that. Next weekend I'll put out what is left in the cold frame with some netting on top in the hopes of getting at least some plants out of it.
I also tasted the first of my produce when I pulled up a couple of carrots to see how they were doing. Top carroty taste I have to say!!
The heat defeated me after an hour or so despite my distinctly unfashionably big floppy hat (£7 in Tescos to you sir) , so I beat a hasty retreat. The weeds live to fight another day.
