Well, one week and 2 days away from the plot after going to the Download Festival... my god, how the weeds have grown! Completely overwhelmed the peas. Having a good go at overwhelming the kids areas. Raised beds weren't in too bad a shape though thank goodness. I think they are the way forward for me.
So, cleared the worst from the kids areas... harvested some nice lettuce there that had managed to best the weeds that surrounded them. Got some decent spring onion and a pummet of starwberries.
Used some poundland weed suppressing fabric and planted my leeks out through it.
I need to spend an evening cutting back the weed grass so that the seeds don't spread. Maybe see if I can rescue my peas a little. Giving up on the plan to create a tomato shelter - use the wood for a quick raised bed and sow out more lettuce I reckon.
Might have to face facts that finding enough hours in the day is proving tricky. We shall see. Certainly I'll be increasing the number of beds if I carry on with this. Otherwise it'll probably be a case of extending the growing area at home.
