Bucket'o'weeds

The plot is doing well. Of course most notably the weeds are doing better if the number of them is any indication. So we went to the plot early today (to avoid the heat) and started pulling.

We have a wild area at the back of the plot, which was supposed to have been turned into a seating and picnicking area this year, but a certain pandemic meant I couldn't get the materials that I wanted. So once again it's been left to go wild. Perfect place for throwing all of the resulting weeds, after all no green thing should leave the plot. It'll all compost down.

So we emptied loads of buckets into the back. I lost count, I think I did about 4, and The Wife did about 5 or 6. Anyway, it seems like we've hardly made a dent in the totals in the beds. But things do look a little tidier.

And we have yet more courgettes. Can't give them away fast enough.

...and sweetcorns, and beetroots, and tomatoes, and potatoes....

Soon we'll get round to apples. The tree is creaking under the weight of them, but they're still rather small, and also, sadly, rather moth eaten.

And somewhere hidden in the Crown Prince patch are a few CPs growing there. Considering that we almost lost them all due to a late frost then I think this is rather remarkable.

Anyway, time to avoid the heat and head for the hills. Also known as home.

(Incidentally, have you noticed how bad the new UI for Blogger has become. It's now "optimised for mobiles" and because of this they have completely forgotten the usability of the system. Where before it was easy to select the tags for your posts, now you have to scroll down a huge list to select them. You can't type them in or pick from a condensed list any more. 

They have also blocked you from uploading images in the old interface. So you're now forced to use the new system it you want to include images in your posts. And any images you do upload no longer auto-scale. So now you have to upload images fro the New Interface, switch back to the old one to add them with the scaling, select them by choosing the option "from this blog" and scroll down to the very bottom - that view should really be reverse date ordered - to add them with the scaling.

This is very badly thought out. As somebody who works in the tech industry I find it appalling.)
