Whilst for you that may seem like lots of weeddbut for many thats not so bad. Im sure you will get it shipshape in no time. Have you got seedlings to go in?
I have added two more greenhouses, so I can grow seedlings for others if needed, I need to do something to keep my hand in as it really does affect your mental health. I have always been active but went through a stage of feeling useless and old overnight! ( OK, older
).The wife keeps saying "don't over do it and accept it" but I would rather go out with a bang rather than a whimper!

Why don't you cover the unused beds with membrane before weeding? Save yourself some work as the membrane will kill the weeds for you.
Are GHs the next item that you're collecting? You can never have too many GHs.

Welcome back Boss! I hope you are enjoying your time at the plots, and please rest assured that I definitely have more weeds than you! Don't rush anything, and do what you please
RE: Long time since I last posted! - Admin - 14-05-2025
Just back from the Consultant, I can extend my plot time by 2 hours
additional items of food I have to avoid though.I have to avoid, tomatoes, fresh or tinned, bananas, pineapple, grapefruit and any smoked fish.
Tomatoes pineapple and grapefruit because of drug interaction
Banana,s because too much potassium
Smoked fish because of salt (unless dry smoked without brine)
Getting g old is such fun!

Getting old is more fun than not getting old.
Glad you're being let out for an extra two hours for good behaviour.

I remember when I was on blood pressure medication I was told no grapefruit for some reason? Thankfully I am off all medication for the time being, but I still wouldn't eat grapefruit!
Glad you are improving and have more time to spend at plot!

Spent my extra two hours ýesterday continuing to weed, getting there slowly but enjoying it.
The biggest problem is getting rid of the pulled weeds. Hopefully it will continue to remain dry and once ready I can burn them.
