          Spent most of the time starting to dig a trench between my allotment and the next door one to put in some 10 inch deep lawn edging in a (probably futile) attempt to keep the horsetail from invading everywhere. Very hard work digging through turf and some roots from the blackthorn hedge, but I managed about 1/4 of it.

          Pot up melons, tomatoes and cucumbers

          Watering
          Harvest lettuce, salad leaves, spinach

              • Prepare bed for planting out tomatoes which have moved to cold frame now.
                Pot up flowers & herbs. Harvest last of the chard and freeze it for curries etc.
                Tie up my grapevine which has grown at an alarming rate this week.
