Aphids

Spent about 20 minutes cleaning the first wave of greenflies off of the rose bush. This usually goes on for a couple of months if I remember correctly from last year. There were also a number of small caterpillars rolled up in the leaves that I got rid of.

Glorious weather and a chance to sow some veg: potatoes, carrots, lettuce and sugar snaps.

Rose bush

Pruned the rose bush somewhat. At least it survived the (mild) winter. Have being trying to water it regularly as it gets very little rain under the eave.
