    Dismantled a raised bed from my Garden and moved it to the Allotment. Now have room in garden for my new Greenhouse

    Raised bed is a big one being made from 2.4m scaffold boards stacked 2 high and a width of 1.2m.

    All I have to do now is move all the soil to the Allotment

    Ok...So it's my last day away from home after having been to Philadelphia and New York with work. I can't wait to get home so that I check up on my veg. I really hope that the other half has been looking after things while I've been away. Oh well, I'll know tomorrow....

    What look a promising day was ruined by a heavy downpour around 11am.

    Finally got clear skys and sunshine around 1pm and made my way to the plot.

    The roundup seems to have had some success.

    Dug and rotavated a good size patch today. Big enough to move one of my large raised bed frames from the garden (2.4m x 1.2m)

    Hopefully will be able to move it to the plot on Wednesday.

    After a morning of light rain finally made it to the plot after lunch.

    Attacked with strimmer and then sprayed with roundup.

    Surprised that most of my neighbours suggested roundup, thought everyone had gone all Eco.
