And I’ve only just finished the last pass through the veg plot!
Winter being so mild has meant that an awful lot of weeds didn’t die off when they would normally have done so and having weeded pretty thoroughly at the start of November, by the end of February it was high time to start again. That took quite a while to get done because I was struggling to do much more than an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon with a decent rest between the two.
Unfortunately thanks to the plot being surrounded by sycamore trees it was time to start again almost immediately:
I also removed quite a bit of this, which is apparently Sagina procumbens, also known as pearlwort.
Allegedly it provides protection against fairies, so we’re in trouble now 😀
It’s not all bad news though. In the course of weeding I found that the aparagus are sprouting
And the “Winter” compost bin is now full. There’s not enough material to fill it over Winter, really.
I’ve put a large sheet of cardboard over the top to try to keep some of the heat and moisture in.
