It turned out to be a fine dry day, despite the rainy forecast. We tackled the invading red raspberries that had infiltrated the wild raspberry patch, although sometimes it is difficult to tell which is which! And we finished weeding the edible forest and border areas. Then we tackled the roots bed, removing tiny annual weeds from the turnips; also, we thinned out the turnips and replanted the thinnings in an empty bed - they may not survive but it's worth a try. And the leeks and onions bed was long overdue for weeding, which will require finishing off next time.The wet weather boards have now been brushed off and stored behind the compost bins ready for the next deluge.
