Plotting

With the run of pretty lousy weather we have had lately (related to Atlantic currents? Who knows...) it's been a very late start up at the plot. As much as anything it has been very very wet - here's the path from a couple of days ago:

Not good for digging, given we're on clay, but at the same time also need to get weeds out as they're doing rather well:

Good for them, less so for us... anyhow, couple of hours digging earlier in the week got a few of these out:

In addition we've had to clear some of the more persistent weeds from the no-mans-land between our plot and next door:

... because we are (foolishly, perhaps) taking that one on so we have a full plot, which will work out around 200 square metres in total. Went up this morning to mow, to stop the dandelions taking over the world - before:

and after:

our intention is to cultivate the new plot as raised beds, which are never walked on, and to grow grass in between - once we have the plans sorted will update here.
