I also got a whole load of cabbage and cauliflower plants from Louise which have been grown in plugs which mean they are big enough to fend off some of the critters that eat them when they are very small. These have been spread out amongst my old cauliflower bed (which contains very few cauli's) and the carrot bed now half depleted of carrots.
I also laid into the plot next to me and hacked down a load more weeds. The resulting carnage was then covered with weed matting and a slack handful of wood chips to hold it down.
This now covers all of the plot where it is adjacent to mine and extends a good long way into the plot to I don't get a load of weeds growing nearby and then hopping onto mine. This should mean I can spend less time weeding and more time growing veggies and eating custard creams.
Next week is holiday time and the weather is supposed to be good so hopefully I'll be up tidying the plot and getting rid of some of the weeds permanently.
