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.
