Only a little done

Been to the allotment over the last week and been trying to sort the weeds out,weeds seem to grow quicker than the veg once a drop of rain appears I think I need a few more days then i will be sorted. I've managed to take home and give away some produce from my little plot, I took home some lettuce - courgettes- few spuds and a couple onions which were a little soft but nice.I have ran out of netting to cover my cabbages up with so I have bought another one from someone on the allotments,I have to just trim it down and cover the rest of the cabbages over with it.

Trying to get on with it.

Been to the allotment over the weekend in between the rain and sunshine, managed to water inside the greenhouse and trim the tomatoe plants a little and report some peppers.I had some flowers growing in the greenhouse and now transferred to a larger pot,got rid of some seed that have not grown at all.I have put some washing line along some poles that are holding the netting above the cabbages,also did a bit of weeding still have a lot to weed due to the rain we have had.So i need to get to the plot this week and sort the rest of the weeds out and cover the rest of the cabbages over with better netting,i have been taking home some lettuce over the last few weeks and a cucumber.Also given some lettuce away because they have all come at once and i wont have the time to eat all of them,courgettes have starting to grow which i will start to harvest soon.Also had my first try at cooking and eating my first batch beetroot very nice.
