After arriving late with my trailer to help the other committee members fill the skip with rubbish left on vacant plots, I went onto the plot to clean up the brassica tunnel. Yesterday's harvesting had left a couple of stumps and quite a few discarded cabbage leaves in addition to the heaps of weeds I had left trying to sort out what needed harvesting. Scraping the debris towards the doorway revealed that there were lots of weeds still growing amongst the remaining plants.
So I went for my hoe even though it was rather wet after the morning's rain. Hoeing normally only works well when the seedling weeds dry out in the sun but I was planning to rake everything out anyway. It took quite a while but there was a huge pile of green stuff that took 3 or 4 trips to the compost heap using my fork as a pitchfork, equivalent to at least 2 barrow loads.
Oh! And I finally remembered to tie my two tomato plants up to their stakes in the glassless greenhouse frame.
I went home without harvesting anything via the tip to empty the trailer of non-compostables collected from home!
