I was finally able to do some proper weeding today, making the place look so much better by getting rid of 3 buckets and thistles, weeds, and nettles. I resowed the beetroot (I’m out of carrot seed) and watered it – the compost was dry as a bone -, but it’s too late now to put the tunnel up thanks to a big beetroot and the random volunteer sweetcorn.

I mowed on 2, which made moving around easier. Hopefully I can get it down further soon.

In weeding the onions I “harvested” one and took it home. The rest are doing ok, and should do better now without big weeds in the way.

I’ve got more parsnips than I thought, but this sections needs weeding too. The poppies are turning and I need to start collecting poppy seed, partly for the house, and partly to stop them sticking to me while I’m weeding.
