I managed to go to the allotment both days this weekend - and now have tennis elbow to show for it! Had better get going on those exercises again :)

Yesterday we carried on weeding/digging up the area we had started before Christmas. HD hasn't just dug up some severed hands here, that's my gardening gloves in front of him!

Today I went back for another hour and managed to fill another wheelbarrow with weeds. I was digging up what we had already identified as a bed for potatoes, it turned out that the spuds were still there and I dug up several (mostly very waterlogged and they fell to bits at the slightest touch).

I'm not sure we'll make it next weekend. The forecast is for a big old cold snap, so it's entirely possible the ground will be rock solid (which will make a change from today, when it was really squelchy!).
