The Scythe man cometh

The plot next to mine has been designated as the disabled plot, but nobody has taken it on yet which has led to a jungle of undergrowth David Bellamy would be proud to wussle through.

For your delight and delectation, this is what it looks like.


Bearing in mind some kind soul strimmed this plot at the end of last year, it just shows what can happen if you don't keep an eye on things and how fast those pesky weeds grow. These weeds, now well established have been invading my plot so today I bit the bullet and gave them a good scaring when I whipped my chopper out. The scythe!!!!



I also covered the side next to my plot (on the left) with weed matting to again stop weeds spreading too easily.

Although it looks like a lot of work, the whole thing only took an hour to knock into shape.

The hot weather has also done cracking work on the vegetables in my plot which got a good old soaking to get them going again.

Fingers crossed for the upcoming bank holiday weekend and some canny weather.
