Here we are in June already and we have had all four seasons so far this month. I’ve just had to put my winter fleecy on over my sunburn (itchy and ouchy) to go put a rug on Tim-nice-but-dim, the overbred horse as he was wet and shivering. Cushy Butterfield, the other alleged steed is immune to the weather.
The greenhouses and polytunnel are growing all sorts of tomatoes and cucumbers for salads later in the year, but what is that growing in the old glasshouse? Geordie Smallholder has blasted whatever they are with a very powerful weedkiller, “square-down” (other makes are available) to no avail. So I think they are triffids, haven’t slept a wink since I came to this conclusion. I now know where John Wyndham got his inspiration from: his out of control greenhouse lol.
