It's coming along nicely, just need it to warm up a bit

Slowly but surely I have been digging out the couch grass that still shows signs of life even after being under carpet for 9 months. You can see the clump below to see what I mean. I'm trying to get most of it out to save on weeding later.

My daughters have been planting various seeds and the friendly allotmenteer next door kindly gave them some sunflowers that you can see Georgia watering below.

The peas are coming up as are the potatoes. Planted some carrots under netting to deter the carrot fly but they have not raised their heads yet.

Popped down last night to setup the bamboo supports for the borlottii beans and purple French beans. Managed to pick up 6 metal stakes at a car boot sale for wooden posts to sit in that will make good vertical supports for runner beans and more peas. Paid £1.50 per stake and they are about £8 in b&q! Bargain.

Here are some pictures taken during the past couple of weeks. Further updates to follow. At last the sun has arrived this week 24 degrees tomorrow!!
