Default Late Night Allotmenting

Got home just before 10, having planted 27 kale, 4 portugese cabbages and
3
of the 15 tomato plants on the allotment. Then I got mosquitoed off the
place. :-(

All the brassicas are weed-blanketted and fleeced for butterfly + pigeon
protection, though. Nick watned to use netting, but I figured the
butterflies would just go straight through. Of course, the fleece will
probably go on the first strong wind - it's off the sweet potatoes again
already!

Onions are all coming up, and broad beans came up at the weekend ... got
sprouts and butternut squash to go in, plus a load of leeks. It's all
very
exciting!

I'm a bit confused about the timings here.
Are you in the UK or was this originally posted a couple of months ago?
