I am on a downer with the allotment at the moment. I was hoping to have a good attack at the work that needs doing on Saturday, with Matt, but Matt's shoulder had other ideas. So it was just me and Beth.
The weeds again had doubled in size and quantity, but the two squash plants I put in, looked close to death. Beth did her best, catching a couple of flies and eating a bit of long grass, but there is a lot more to do!
The weather was hot and muggy, and the ground was so dry there was no point in planting my young leek plants. I am not good in the heat either, I don't have the energy to be digging beds.
I went to the supermarket yesterday, and their autumn range was in, according to a banner in the carpark. I wish someone would tell the weeds it was nearly autumn, and they should start dying back! I am thinking I may ignore the weeds, let them die back, and then sort things out ready for next spring so that they don't take hold again in such a quantity.
I have never been so eager for winter to arrive!
