The sun has shone brightly all day long, down at the allotment, and current political travails were thankfully banished to the deeper recesses of my mind ... at least for a good few hours this afternoon anyhow ;-)Last bed now edged (10 in total, including the fruit-cage which you can see here on the left) and most of them planted up ...
... you should also be able to see what's become known as "The Rocket" - a 'living-willow' frame, that was given to my better-half as a very generous Birthday present ;-))
So - vegetable-wise ... we now have potatoes; onions; spinach; carrots, beetroot, radishes all planted up! More to go over the next few weeks, but most of the beds are now sown.
And - plant-wise ... a huge variety of flowers, bulbs and herbs all planted - including sweet-peas which will hopefully cover "The Rocket" in the not-too-distant future :-)
... all good therapy after the trauma of the last few days :-(

Very impressive Andrew !
Is that weeds or grass growing on the paths?
How are you going to cut it if it is grass?
You are too young to be "Put out to Grass"

Andrew I just found out that you can enlarge your pictures, found this out by mistake! I am still learning. I can now see that it is not grass, but "WEEDS" WE CANNOT HAVE THIS!
Keep up the good work !

You're right, there are some weeds, but it is mostly grass and to date we've just been cutting it with a pair of hand-shears :-(
Now that the beds are done, I'll be able to spend some time on the paths; clearing up the composting areas etc. Also have quite a bit of work to do in clearing out the 'greenhouse' (next to the shed) ...
... and to cap it all off, Junior wants a pond built as well!
- no rest for the wicked :-((
