Clearing the mess

It's not been a good allotment year so far.  We were away for the Easter long weekend and the Royal Wedding long weekend and this has really let the weeds and grass take hold.  We've also had a massively dry March and April but has some much needed rain at the weekend.

Today I've cleared the bed that was covered in mypex and it's come up really well but the rest is a bit of a nightmare.  I think I'll need some new mypex to cover the front bed and will grow curcubits through it as I've done so successfully before.  I'll plant onions (which were really successful last year) and lettuces in the bed I've just cleared.  I've got lots of good healthy pumpkin, squash and courgette seedlings ready to plant once the front bit is covered with mypex.

I must visit more often too!
