Mixing Association and plot work

Sunday 5th November
Saturday afternoon was spent installing and painting the porch cover for the new container but at the end I had chance to nip down to the plot to harvest some rainbow chard for the evening meal.
Sunday found me collecting greenhouse glass from a neighbour to add to the Association's stock. Having stacked it carefully I took a break and joined the crowd having coffee and cakes at the café.
Then I got down to work on the plot.
After digging out on see or two deep rooted weeds like thistles, docks and dandelions, I ran a hoe over the old pea patch, raking the weeds over next to the bean framework ready to bury them in next year's bean trench.

​I then hoed the weeds emerging round the blueberries but with the soil so moist I had to take them into a heap alongside the patch as well.
Finally I pulled a handful of the oldest carrots and cut a couple of tops from the Brussels sprouts to take home.
