Spent a bit of time at the plot today. I took a tray of 'Bright Lights' chard I had grown at home.It didn't seem to be growing the way it should and I believe it is probably the cheap duff compost the seeds were sown into?
Anyway I figured it may pick up a bit if planted out.
With this in mind I cleared a bed of onions and and put them in a tray in greenhouse to fully dry out. After that , I weeded andl lightly dug over the surface and ran a string line down each edge shifting woodchip back onto path. After that, I planted out 24 clumps of chard, waterd them in and added slug pellets.
The only other thing done was to dig out any large docks or dandelions with a trowel and to snip back some rampant blackberrry vine emanating from nxet doors plot.![Rolleyes Rolleyes](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
Left for home with a couple of courgettes.
