1 December

Long awaited trip to the allotment this afternoon. Stayed until dark. Finally dug up all the raspberries at the bottom. I have an invasion of bindweed. I'm going to have to dig the area again and try and get rid of most of it. It's coming from garden behind with loads of trees in it - damn!

The green manure(Alfalfa) seems to have grown well where the maincrop spuds used to be. Had a small bonfire and burned the bindweed I dug up along with the raspberries.

Wish I'd brought a potato and some silver foil.....
