Sunny Days

Sun glorious sun! Today the allotment was basked in a wonderfully warm glow, erasing all memories of the previous rain-filled week. As we surveyed the allotment for what needed to be done, it was clear last week's rain had not been all bad as some new flowers had bloomed and our vegetables, particularly the broad beans, had grown even taller. But alas, despite the good news, our old enemy, the weeds, had decided to come back for revenge. This time, feeling somewhat lethargic, we decided to employ a new tactic which would utilise the hoe. We roughly dug up the weeds and left them on the surface of the soil for our old friend, the sun, to dry them out. This method was of course far easier on our delicate hands and dodgy knees but we'll have to wait and see how effective it is. Stay tuned!


The weeds are back!

Two hours of hard work later...
