Of course we still had our wellies on :-)

Lots of weeding to be done, the dreaded dandelions are in full irritation mode.

Raspberries are looking great, buds on all of them and the herbs are going mad – woohoo!!

Siobhan weeds around the raspberries Lisa weeds around the onions

(Aren’t allotment manners are just fabulous?!)

And rightly so. The bloody things are everywhere, loads of them, at every stage of growth – buds, flowers, seed-heads and blown away.

There was no spade to hand (we have no shed) so the ones we couldn’t pull out we dead-headed instead. At every turn a new clump that couldn’t possibly have been there before(?) appeared.

Quite how we’re going to keep them away is anyone’s guess…
