Had to go to the plot to drop off a couple of fence posts I scrounged and they will do to replace rotten ones in my allotment fence.
Of course, while I was there I couldn't just drop them off and leave!
Started by hoe-ing the thickest of weeds off my old bean trench, then digging it over. I have ordered Mooli,new late planting swede seed (supposedly) and spinach seeds to plant in the bed. I couldn't rake it level as it was raining (quite refeshing actually) and will rake it level before sowing the seeds, when they come! Supposed to be on 24 hour delivery, that was three days ago! Bed roughly 6 foot wide and 8 foot long (piccie below)
Forgot to mention, before that I harvested the strawberries which were ripe! (Piccie below) I also took the biggest strawbeey to Helens grave as she always got the first one, and I had plenty, so why not!
After that I removed all netting from brassicas and hoped the flying rats leave then alone. I then utilised the tool I seem to use most, the hoe! I hoed most of the paths then did the obligatory hand weeding that is a never ending chore. I say 'chore', but I really don't mind it, it's my back that complains!
