Update

Got the last of the spiky stuff bagged up ready to go to the fire, and finally got the plastic down. Plan to lift it and level the ground soon, but in the meantime it can start to kill off and stop the weeds.

Harvested some Carrots, although some looked rather black, and some were mush. :-(

Also got some Parsnips and Rainbow Chard up, but the Parsnips weren't very big.

The Raspberries badly need staking up. I need to make a good fence support for them.

Beans haven't done much at all, but they do look full of leaf, so we'll see.

Weeds are still growing like a menace.

Update

Wow.  Last week was hot, but this week we seem to have had a minor heatwave.  Its somewhere between 25 and 27c but the humidity this last few days has been 90 and 100%,  Its hellish.
I've had a bad headache all day, but knew I had more work to do so waited till 4pm to go up to the plot.

2 hours of sweating buckets had the back end finally cleared.
Only the shed area to do next, but that's full of stone lumps and slab pieces and great mats of grass :-(

Got several piles of brambles and seed infested weeds to get rid of now, then level it all so its safer to walk on.
Then I need to get some decent edgeing wood to stop it all migrating onto the path, get the black plastic sheeting down to stop the weeds, get the raised beds down and the paths between decided on.

The pumpkins have been sat in the sun and ripened up nicely :-)

Todays over pic :-)
