I'm always pulling out nettles. Most times, my hands are tingling when I go home!

I have a Dock plant that I never get rid off.

I refer to it as my " Medicine Cabinet" as I use a leaf or two from it every time I have been nettled and it works quite well!

Time will tell if my timing was right......planted the garlic and shallots on Friday in the sunshine, next morning I woke up to 3 inches of snow on the car! This morning  brings the first hard frost as well, so all the  dahlias to sort now....
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Well two weeks ago I was clearing away some very wet and de-composted rhubarb stalks, laying them by the side of the main clump rather than over them.  Yesterday I noticed that new stalks had grown, about 5 inches, and that new buds were coming.  So should I cover with an up-turned dustbin or just let it die off again.  Ok lets leave it ne nature.

I also notice other things are still growing strong, particularly the grass!!

I have potatoes still growing slowly with no trace of frost damage. Or did a few days ago; I'm in Cornwall for my mothers funeral.

I did last week, but the weekend done them in on the tops. Might be lucky under the ground for some xmas salad spuds.
