Had a few hours at the allotment, mostly to try to keep inside the rules, weeding and tidying. Some of the produce has crept out over communal paths, one squash has now crossed a path and invited itself into a neighbours plot by half a metre or so. :P Made a modest harvest of Courgettes and Beefstea...

I have a slight neurosis about lithium batteries. Ditto. TBH, Even cavalier me has some dread. Have seen one burn and would not want that near me or the house or car or on a plane.

Other sellers do this, too. Rant #2 Aldi changed the battery design at least twice since we bought our rather nifty WorkZone ...

Tomorrow I plan to sow with a cover crop in preference to overwintering, using a tarp or weed membrane, which did little to suppress the horrid weeds. Cover crop sown. £4 bought me 250g of mustard seeds. Then I saw an RHS video where the guy suggested super cheap wild bird seed, which I got a bag f...

just a little thing..... Weeded and dug over about 1/3 of my allotment and harvested a bin full of bindweed. Tomorrow I plan to sow with a cover crop in preference to overwintering, using a tarp or weed membrane, which did little to suppress the horrid weeds. If time permits I'm going to start trimm...
