Today was the day for digging up the garlic and weeding at the same time. When I planted it way back in the autumn the ground was extremely wet and soggy and I half expected them to rot away. But no, they grew well and, although they aren’t as large as last year, there is plenty for our needs. I shall sort out some of the bigger ones to hold back to plant out this coming autumn. My veg beds are really rather neglected and so there are plenty of sow thistles and annual rose-bay willow herb, also a lot of groundsel too so it felt quite good to be getting rid of these weeds. I had to call a halt though because we had a few of those rare species known as customers who kept coming in and needing help. So some of the weeds are still there, waiting to self seed and annoy me next year.
