Using the sunshine

I went down the allotment just before noon and ended up losing track of time and staying until it was nearly 3pm.

Weeded out some of the bigger weeds around the broad beans and picked some for tea.  Weeded the big stuff around the onions and garlic.  The onions suffered badly in all the rain, but some have survived. I'll dig them out soon.

Well done!
I also want to report on my urine watering: no big progress so far because of the downpours, the soil is muddy and if the weather lasts, I will return to it again.

Ah weeding, the perennial occupation! I've been doing plenty of that in the past few weeks. I harvested my garlic at the weekend, the bulbs range from tiny to larger than golf ball size. I expect the cold, wet spring didn't do them many favours and I doubt they mistook Northamptonshire clay for Spanish loam. I planted them in December, so this year all the bulbs divided themselves into cloves. :-)

Have fun :-)
