Phew!!! Dammed hot at the allotment today, but I was still quite surprised I was the only one on site?
Whilst weeding and watering I managed to drink my half litre of water I had brought with me. To energise myself after that I spent time foraging the gooseberies,redcurrants, blackcurrants and strawberries. I even stripped down to my under pants as there was no one around (not a pleasant site) I was mainly weeding the paths which is a backbreaking task and a bit like painting the Forth bridge as I just finish weeding one path when I am ready to start weeding at the beginning again. I do find it quite theraputic looking along paths I have just weeded though and knowing that adding the weeds to my 'weedy' compost heap which will eventually go back onto the beds seems to meake it all worth while.
