The only weeds I have are hiding under the netting.... they appear to like the security behind bars  :lol:

                     Or is it that the hoe can't get under there without me making the effort to lift the nets?  ::)

Therein lies the answer of why I am not growing brassicas this year  :lol:

If you do fancy using net curtains- making your plot look very swish :lol:- you can pick them up quite cheap in the charity shops. :)

Ha Ha, you got it in one.
Where are all the weeds  :ohmy:
I've got plenty if you want me to send you some  :lol:
Ah it's only weed-free cos after I dug that bit in early spring I put the black matting back over it to stop any more coming up!!
They'll be back, I'm sure.  I have a thistle invasion elsewhere on the plot.  I'm sure they appear every time I turn my back.  :)
Lotty holder since Aug 09... I've FINALLY finished clearing it! On with the p.lanting  ....
