weeds and planting
« on: June 06, 2010, 22:23 »
After over a week of just digging up weed roots - we have all the best ones - brambles, horse tail, bind weed - we have finally got something in the ground.

We planted a strawberry bed with some alpine strawberries I grew from seed and a row of canes and runner beans. It is very exciting to have something actually growing apart from lovely weeds.

darn it! I tried to enter this into the "what I did on the allotment today" thread and my computer timed out and then it stuck it here.  And now I can't delete it - anyone know a way? ???

I can either merge it, delete it, ot let it run it's course!

If I do the former, we'll lose continuity with subsequent posts. I don't see the harm in leaving it be.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

They have been worth their weight in gold, especially as they were reduced as they looked like death

I will be looking for some more for home  :lol:
