Weeding and horsetail - done some
Deadheading - no
Harvest PSB, spinach, carrots - done

There was never going to be any gardening time today as I went to Harrogate Flower Show, but the day was not helped by water coming through my hall ceiling yesterday evening. Every spare moment was spent trying to find a plumber who could work around the flower show (notice the priorities here!) and I now have cold water but not hot. I have no idea when normality will be restored as I am also having all the fascia boards on my house replaced next week, which will restrict my time at the allotment.
