Glorious sunshine today! My mum and I dug over one of the beds – destined for peas. I put down the weed covering felt on the top right bed which has quite a bit of couch grass in it. I have decided that I may ‘rest that bed for the summer and maybe weedkill it later in the year. The jury is out on it at the mo. We meaasured up for the wire and posts which will eventually be replaced around the plot. It works out about £50 to go around all my beds individually or £40 to go round the whole plot! I was suprised at this but it makes sense. This is a future job for my lovely husband (who is not involved in the growing side of the allotment). Along with maybe making two of my beds raised ones.
We did a bit of weeding and then went to the pub for lunch!
