| The veg patch on 27th May |
Ok I admit, I'm cheating with the picture. If you look at the plot from the other side it looks really overgrown and in need of TLC.
I haven't had time to come over the last 2 weekends due to us being invited to 2 weddings. So this weekend the weather was gorgeous and we went there. Of course one can expect weeds growing during that time, but I wasn't expecting to see so much bindweed. I reckon the previous has rotivated the plot and I'm paying for this.
So I focused on pulling the weeds where I've already planted, and used a weedkiller in the part I haven't planted. I used glyphosate, which is absorbed by the leaves, so I have to wait for the product to go down to the root and kill the plant before I can remove them.
I also planted my peas and more broad beans. I didn't get the time to plant my tomato plants, I didn't have time to clear some space for them. I also need to plant my courgettes and squahes, and also my runner beans and my chard.... Lots to do this week after work and if it doesn't rain
