Thank goodness for spiders!

flying ants have definitely made it into our greenhouse. All the webs - and there are far more than I thought! - are covered in stuck flying ants. There are loads of ants running about as well - notsure if this represents a problem.
onions and florence fennel are storming away - a good job something likes this weather. it looks ideal blight weather for potatoes - we have mostly earlies [popped in late] which can start to harvest. The french and runner beans also v happy and flowering all over the place. we have cherries, apples, pears and plums all ripening.
cucurbits and sweetcorn def unhappy though.
we have lost the war of weeds already!!
