Now that I know this mossy #VipersBugloss @dungenessrspb is caused by #gallmite Aceris echii & not #radiation from #dungeness #nuclearpowerplant, I am worried. It's a top #beeplant. Will the gall affect the #nectar flow for #pollinators? @nikkigammans @BumblebeeTrust #bumblebees

Another (5th of the year) punnet of raspberries from today & the last crop of rhubarb for the year - which has been cropping for months. For those who asked, the raspberry variety is ‘Autumn Bliss’. I didn’t cut down all the canes in February, which is why it’s cropping so early
