I haven't been to the plot to work this week as I have had visitors, and the weather hasn't been very suitable when I did have the time. So I took the opportunity this evening to use a couple of hours there to "maintain" my progress and to dig a bit more.

DH mowed the back lawn so I took the mowings to much the spuds. I then hoed everywhere. Then spent an hour and a half digging.

I'm still going over the bit that was under the tarpaulin with the manure heap on. The white roots have really proliferated under that warm pile!!! This evenings haul was a full tubtrug. Another two feet of digging and I'm squared up. Then the squashes and cabbages can go in. I'll have to tread all over the bit for the cabbages as they don't do well in newly dug ground.

Tomorrow I hope to find time to weed the onions....they need it!
