Weeding the Veggy Plot (by sarah)
Last night I decided that the courgettes had to be planted out - unfortunatly this ment I had to weed the veg plot first - so of I went. I got a bit carried away and weeded more area than I needed and went all faint and stuff but the veg plot is starting to look more respectable now and i think it counts as my aerobic excersise for the day 🙂
Unfortunatly the deer have desimated the peas so I just cleared the area they were in 🙁 But I also found several more potatoe plants I didnt know about 🙂
I've just taken 3 barrow loads of weeds to the compost heap! Full barrows too 🙂 I'm proud of myself 🙂
Of course the plot should never have been allowed to get in that state in the first place but as my health returns hopefully I'll be able to maintain things better 🙂
On the down side I've just found the magpies eating the butternuts - the little fruits were intermediate between ping pong ball and tennis ball and now they've been munched 🙁 - oh well I've already made ratatooey with courgettes from the compost heap (these are Babaras plants that she told us we could harvest from whilst shes away).
