Some of the leaves of the white clover (Trifolium pratense) has developed target leaf-spot fungi, probably, I think, Stemphylium sarciniforme (there are many leaf spotting fungi found on clovers and they all look very similar unless studied under a high power microscope).
They are called 'target fungi' because they tend to make target-like concentric rings on the leaf.
Today the window box had its third birthday and now sets off into its fourth year.
I took the picture above from the rear to avoid it looking exactly the same as the ones taken a couple of days ago.
I must repair that rim sometime - the consequence of journeys to Islay and London with TV crews.
At least the soil does not seem to be shrinking so much and I am thinking of ways of building it up with box-grown stick bundles and blown in fallen leaves.
