First I removed the old brassica stems, chopped them up with the spade and composted them. Then I dug over & weeded that area....
...gosh that was hard work but very enjoyable. You forget what a good hard dig is like don't you, especially as my last dig was around October 2010. So after a good hour of digging over & weeding the old Brassica bed, I then moved on to something a little easier.....
Bed one - currently empty apart from a few welsh onions at the far end was weeded....
And finally the Onions and Garlic were weeded using the good old Onion hoe.
So not a bad hour and a half spent there today in the wind!

I'm paranoid about roof tiles falling on my head. I won't go out just yet.
Right that's it, I need to get down and sort my plot out, but why does it always rain at weekends?
Need to get down to my allotment - mind you, son I share it with has not suggested a visit. But, I do have the potatoes and onions ready, and today I sowed broad beans to take down. Must go soon!
Hi Ali, it's good to see that you got out and on to the allotment. Get all the tension out with the digging !!! there's nothing like it for the exercise, and so good to be starting off again.
I sowed Artichokes (globe) last week and they are up already on the study windowsill. Also planted my broad beans,(indoors) some Bergamot, Lemon Basil and Sweet Basil. I love it.
