This morning was spent down on the plot trying to make a start on the overgrown mess. As there was no one around with a key to the shed where the strimmers are kept it was a case of 'what can I do now?' At the west side are two large areas which were once obviously raised beds so I decided to start with these. Once the weed cover was removed from the front bed I was delighted to find some lovely onions which had obviously been missed when the last tenants did a bunk.
Not only have I got this plot free until October because they cut and run...but freebie onions as well!
A quick trip to Homebase to buy another fork. One of their own so less than a third of the price of the naff branded one. Another hour or so and bed number two was done and dusted.
Good job I took care with bed number two when I recognised some fairly forlorn looking potato plats as I found a couple of kilos of these beauties!
After a good 45 minutes of fairly hard graft the first plot was weeded and dug over. It was a warm day and I did suffer a bit but the only real casualty was my fork which I bought about 18 months ago and was supposedly guaranteed for 10 years.A terse email to Spear and Jackson has already been sent off!
