Sunday 6th May 

Managed to get down to the allotment for a few hours today. Got a couple jobs done but mainly digging.
I chose to weed kill the entire back of the allotment including the onion sets i planted.  I believe i crushed them when i put them in anyway as none of them have produces shoots so I've killed all of them.
The back of the allotment is the part i had big plans for but after spending two whole days digging it in early april. Ive conceded that i cannot cope with the amount of weeds that are in that area. I'm gonna have to cover the area up after the weedkiller has soaked in and try and dig it a bit at a time. So any plans i had for that area I have put on hold.

As for the front i have been able to build another raised bed and put down weed membrane. Also found time to dig the major perennial weeds before i put the pathways down so that should help. I plan to add the other raised bed tomorrow and hopefully dig that out too. If i get chance to get down there that is.

The bed nearest to camera I'm going to call bed C. It took me nearly 3 hours to dig, every fork i lifted revealed a network of underground roots that had to be individually pulled out. Then after i dug i had to get on my knees with my hand fork and get the remaining roots out. It has took me bloody ages and its still not done!

I also ran out of time when i was trying to put my net up on my strawberrie's' to protect them from the birds, I hope to complete this tomorrow also.
