Total Allotment Time: 1 1/2 hrs Principle Task: Lifting plastic mulch and lightly forking over exposed soil to remove any remaining weed roots as in recent posts.
Thanks, Jimmy. Yes, I've certainly been putting the hours in over the last week or so (although the actual time spent working at something is still far less than the total time I spend up there).
Cheers for confirming the id of the Ladybird and Vine Weevil. The insect world really has woken up down here over the last couple of weeks, and I'm having to resist whipping my camera out each time I see something move :o)
Herbs are one area of plant growing I could really get into - I'm going to have to be tough on myself though, and keep them to pots or I fear I'll soon run out of room for my veg :o)
Unsettled weather is forecast for us over the next few days, although it's going to remain mild, so things should keep growing. The advantage of more southerly climes, eh? :o) (They do say that the south of England will produce the best wine grapes in years to come - although I'd rather we kept our temperate climate).
