Wouldn't use such evils - but I have been weeding. About three trugfuls of thistles and annual weeds. Loathsome things! Anyhow progress report from today, or as stated above "my round up!"
Garlic - pulled as it was showing signs of rust. Strung and hung up in the polytunnel. This frees up half a bed for my squashes :)
Onions - some were bolting and have been pulled, chopped and frozen. But they are a good size (4"). Bed 6 onions all pulled as of 10/6/12 for drying.
Broad beans - another two colanders full, with lots more to come.
Early potatoes - disappointing yields - half a bucket out of ten plants. The foliage was showing signs of dying off.
Peas are flowering.
Runner beans are winding their way up the Munty frame.
Raspberry hedge is a two to three foot high fedge! About two foot deep. Masses of fruits forming - mmmmmm!
Strawberry bed - attention required tomorrow :(
Currants - strings of flowers ;)
Parsnips - none germinated AGAIN!
Rhubarb - masses pulled, chopped and stewed.
Lettuce - two lovely green lines.
Kale - half pulled. Two sticks given away. The rest chopped, washed and frozen.
Spring cabbage - remainder pulled, chopped, washed and frozen.
All in all a very mad four hours at the allotment followed by another frenetic two hours.
Yawn!
