I hate grass

Grass is the world's biggest commercially grown crop. It's just that we (Humans) don't eat it. But it gets everywhere, and worse, if you turn your back for 2 mins it kind of takes over. Especially after the rains at the start of the week. The other menace is that damned bind weed that's sending up little tendrils through the paths that I put down. The bind weed is easily pulled. The grass is going to take a little more managing.

Meanwhile plants are starting to move out of the overcrowded greenhouse. The first two courgettes have made it to the mound.

 The beetroot has been planted out.

And the remainder of the borlotti beans now fill the bed.

The Flower bed is also starting to bloom. This is the arena of the Wife so I have no idea what these flowers actually are.

But they are expanding into other areas... For example a fellow plotholder was throwing away their wheelbarrow. The tire was completely wrecked. They had been using it to grow things in. So we took it and decided to use it as a front piece for the plot. We put a mixture of Mediterranean wild flowers in there, which should make for a good show.

Last year we had a rogue potato growing up through the un-managed part of the plot. This year we seem to have a number of rogues in last years compost bed.

Well I suppose they can stay there. They're not doing any harm and as I have to dig out that bed at some point, they'll just help to break it up. I guess thats what happens when you chuck some of your unwanted small spuds on the compost. they come back to deliciously haunt you.

The weather seems to be pretty good this weekend. Better than originally forecast. Just have to keep everything watered.

Time to head for home to water ourselves now. Where's that cider?
