This lovely butterfly, which apparently isn't very common this far North, turned up in the polytunnel this week. It's a lovely comma, which has very distinctive jagged edging around the wings and does a very good impression of bark or a leaf on its underside.
In terms of jobs, I had help this week from Maria and we got stuck into clearing a path through the orchard and putting membrane down. Victoria also turned up, so we potted up some more strawberry runners and attacked a few more weeds (of which there are still plenty).
I also took advantage of a break in the wet weather to dig over one of the potato beds in preparation for some overwintering green manure.
