Looking back through thread some suggestions they weren't the best so wanted to compare
I mean if you have some garlic knocking about anyway it wouldn't hurt to plant a few cloves to see, no idea if you'd get scapes just a bit later than usual or have to wait till next year tbh. Istr some alliums can be a bit random about when they decide to flower anyway...

It's not that bad, it's just persistent. Just keep picking and pulling it out.Bindweed, i have it.
If its so bad why is it so pretty ?

Gently pull as much as the root out as you can when pulling up, it can reproduce from tiny amounts left in the soil so treat it carefully rather than howing away at it. Expose as much as possible to wear it down.
It's your garden, you can leave as much as you want if you don't mind it being there...Can i leave just a little bit which is about to do big white flowers?

Spent a couple of hours repairing the weed damage to the leafy greens bed, it was a state... still is but its now mostly weed free. Hands are sore though. Think slugs and wet fucked most of the crops in there but the cabbage is doing well. The Pak Choi is long bolted though sadly. Carrots are looking ok but still quite small and not quite as badly overgrown with weeds as I was expected.
Have murdered a shit ton of napping slugs to...

One of my clematis that I planted last year has been stripped of every leaf! Never happened before and all.other plants seem to be untouched.
Everything's backwards because of that cold earlier in the year. Reckon I'll be getting courgettes and maybe even the first chilli at the same time as first broad beans & peas. First earlies I stuck in right back at the start of March are nowhere near ready yet either.
Usually only grow pak choi to keep the slugs off everything else but my gardening group sowed so much there's a few heads nearly ready for picking that the slugs have barely touched yet! Mizuna and mustardy things are both bolting now though.

True, but some things seem to be more behind than others. Peas and beans are almost there now, so hopefully should have some by the weekend.
Been giving big carrier bags full of greens to anyone who'll take them.

Seasons are different for growing veg here , finished the peas, the broad beans, and the broccoli, just about on the last of the courgettes ( thank heavens love the first ones but am running out of recipes and will to eat them) , leeks just about finished, tomatoes and cucumbers in full flow, and getting too hot for lettuces now at 30c plus . One more month and it'll be like the sahara. Grapes are coming on though and the blackberries are coming into life. Start sowing/planting out again mid September/October.

I've just looked back at posts on this thread from last year and apparently I harvested my first peas and beans on 27 May.
I think it was a bit cold early last year too, but nothing like this year has been.

heckling from the back!
Thanks to that bl---dy cold spring, I haven't even got those (yet).
Everything is almost a month late this year, just hope the season extends in September, otherwise I'll get virtually nowt.
However, I have managed some more of the "structural" works backlog as a consequence ...
