Hello, it's Friday 12 June 2026.

It has been a week. And not a good one! I had a nasty injury on the field, a car drama, non-stop rain, no sales on the hub, my garden is a jungle and I didn't get anywhere near enough seedlings planted out. Oh, and did I mention the rain?

So, in light of that, this episode is a bit of a rant about how dreadfully things have gone this week, just in case you thought it was all fun and games. I have hit a rather large brick wall this week and I'm sharing all the lows with you tonight.

There have been two bits of good news this week to share with you (and they are good) and my Plant Profile Series continues with Astrantia, in honour of this beautiful perennial that I have flowering its sock off on my field. If you're not growing it yet, do give it consideration. I know it's a popular flower (even if no-one wanted mine this week!)

P.s It's the Asian Hornet that apparently we have to report on a UK app, not the European one.

Please come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.
