Fine weather and i thought i would never say this !

Could we please have a little rain, preferably during the night. There are large cracks appearing in parts of my plot, one of the downfalls of having heavy London clay. It has its good points in that it holds nutrients well. Most things grow here really well, including weeds – its surprising how quickly it changes from quite sticky to break your fork rock hard My planned one hour visit turned into four hours after weeding the beds and paths between the beds. There were a lot of wet the beds [dandelions] they seemed to have quadrupled in the last week, So it was out with the hoe to hold them off – there’ll be back…

A quick tidy up in the shed resulted in it being completely emptied and the contents rearranged – i came across some hand tools i thought i lost. I now have two onion hoes and four hand forks along with numerous left hand gloves; god knows where the right hands are. Banged in some nails to hang up my tools, should make it easier to find them, so long as i remember to hang them up – shed will not stay tidy for long.. :)

Watered plants before leaving at five o’clock
