Back to a round of grass cutting (mowing and strimming) yesterday. The petrol mower broke down part way though. It’s not the first time it’s done this (cutting out, restarting after being left for a minute and then running for 10 seconds) but this time rather than recovering it came to a point where it wouldn’t restart even briefly. Anyway, I’ve tried to make sure the fuel line and tank is clear, have cleaned the carburettor and it ran well for the rest of its job. Fingers crossed that it was the correct diagnosis and lasting fix now.

Veg has gone from the initial doing nothing to having a few more things planted. Late but some Charlotte potatoes, some brassica (I think mum said brocolli), courgettes in three of the tubs and some runner beans have come in the post today.
