Picked up more vegetable trimmings from the kitchen tent and got to the nursery just before Linda at 08:30. Mowed all driveways. The bits of rain have kept the driveways growing and a 4.5" cut did quite nicely. Weeded beds C11 to C14, weeded all the sweet potato beds in block D, and mulched the recently planted dahlias in D18. Cut two of the ‘Early Market Copenhagen’ cabbages that Linda has been mothering since she planted the seedlings at the end of April. We took home one each to try. Nice tight 2.5 - 3.5 pound heads, but riddled with holes and full of slugs. Whoopee for growing food without pest controls. 30 degrees, cloudless sky, and little if any breeze. Locked up at noon.
