The Allotment - 19^th January 2003

The front bed has now done, in respect of digging over, major weed removal (dandelion roots the size of parsnips), and some stone removal. All beds still have to be sieved for destoning and any other missed roots!

As can be seen in some of the shots, each week is still another 1 or 2 bags of roots!

A present of a cloche can be seen test erected.
