Slow progress is better than no progress.

Hello from sunny South Cambridgeshire... well actually its raining today, but I'm not going to complain!

I was all set to post a few photos of the 'progress' that we've made on the plot, until the Yorkshireman came home at lunchtime and took the camera to work for the afternoon, so I'll have to add those later.

What we have been up to is mostly weeding and hoeing and more weeding and more hoeing and so on and so forth. I have now managed to clear half the plot and mark out the 4 winter veg beds and the Christmas potatoes. I took the Yorkshireman up with me last weekend and he kindly dug over the bed for the potatoes and we have now planted them, so at least we can same something is growing!
On Tuesday I went up to the plot and the plot manager Jim kindly strimmed down all of the weeds on the other half of the plot with an old fashioned scythe. It was a pretty nifty tool too as it was far quicker than me fannying about with a petrol strimmer and a darn sight safer too (being that someone else was doing it!). I had planned to photograph this wonder of bygone technology, but unfortunately I had forgotten to put the memory card in the camera and now my iphone is playing silly buggers and won't let me download the few pictures I did manage to snap. Technology, who'd have it eh?!

So while I have nothing to show you, I can assure you something has been done since my last post... And hopefully if it stops raining, I'll be able to get up there this afternoon for a spot of digging in preparating for The Great Manure Delivery, which should happen any day now.

On that note, I'd better be off as Project Manager Chops has awoken from his nap and I need to dig out my wellies for this afternoon's digging.
