Well not much achieved over the weekend at the plot. Serious digging is needed and its all a bit too much like hard work at the moment! Started to excavate a bramble but couldn't manange to find the beginning (or is it the end?) of the thing. So left it with a big hole around it. It's right in the middle of one of my new beds so might need a rethink on that...
Dug over a bed created before Christmas and tried to remove as much of the couch grass roots as possible - never can get every little bit. However decided some light relief in the form of planting was required so made it into a lovely seed bed and planted some parsnip seeds and added some radishes to mark the rows. Apparently this is what you do as parsnips are slow to geminate - presumably this stops you mistaking them for weeds or digging over the soil before they have had chance to appear?
Put down some of our cheap as chips polytunnels from Poundland (you guessed it only £1 each) to protect the radishes. We will see what happens.
