Weed helper

This is my little weeding helper it's half a pallet and some carpet tiles,it saves me getting muddy and spreads my weight.

Short visit

I only went to the plot for a few hours over the weekend and didn't do much, I took juke with me for treat so he can have a wander around. Only thing i have done was take up all my white cabbages / broccoli that has gone rotten, also removed some of the netting that was covering them up. I've stored the netting in the shed I say stored just thrown it in,i also removed the stakes that was holding it all up. Once i get chance Most likely be weekend i will weed what I can between the cabbages,I might even try and pickle some of the cabbages.

Mixed bag

It's been a mixed bag of weather this week we have had rain/snow/frost,so couldn't spend much time down in the plot. I did manage to pop down once during the week and do a spot of weeding,I only weeded a all section and it was so muddy I should of waited. Anyway that's another section done and out of the way,just a couple more parts to sort then I can hang my boots up for Xmas.

I got myself some new boots this week because my feet are alway wet in the others,this time I went for some wellies that i haven't had in years. Think I was a kid the last time I had some,so fingers crossed these will be ok for me. I had to get a smaller size to the normal boots I get,my feet must be shrinking as i get older.

Sprouts

Seeing that I never have done very well with sprouts this year I decided to take them all up,I did get some sprouts from them not a lot but a hand full to make tea.

Covered up and feet up

The area I covered up with leafs was around 25ft x 21ft so quite a few barrows of leafs,once I'd finished covering the ground with leafs I have to sit down. I must of moved over 30 wheel barrows full of leafs,and the section was in the middle of the allotment. So must of walked 80ft + to the leafs then the same distance back again, so i had to put feet up for a cuppa before i fell down.

Weeded and covered

Finished weeding another section this weekend and managed to get it covered up,but what I did was weed as much I could then cover with leafs then put some sheeting over it. I don't think i have the time before new year to dig it over, so hoping wetting the leafs and covering it over it will rot down a little. If not i will dig it in next year and see how it goes,I have some leaf mould from last year which I've made and will be on the soil next year,if it doesn't work I know yet year not to do it again you have to try these things.

My trusted trowel

My trusted trowel has giving up this weekend and decided to go separate ways,think I may if over used it a little but will save it and make something out Of it.
