A couple of happy hours on the plot again today.
Firstly planted my half price shallots in a small bed. I then tackled two 'Jungley' beds that had last years sweetcorn still in (left purposely for the bugs, at least that's my story) and the other bed had Kohl Rabi which had seeded.
After clearing each bed of old plants and weeds I gave them a quick tickle over with the hoe and rake. I then planted 15 chrysanthemum cuttings I had taken earlier in the year and a couple of dozen leeklets
If nowt else it makes the place a bit tidier but still loads of weeding to do.
I should have photographed left side of plot which is looking a bit tidier after last visit...........but I forgot.
Any way, here's a fe iccies of before and after on the beds I worked on.
