8 December

A reasonable crop on the sunny allotment this afternoon, chioggia beetroot, leeks and parsnips.

Dug over bottom of allotment again, removed a full trug of horrible bindweed. Went right up to edge! It was pretty good to work with today. I was forking it and turning it over, breaking up the lumps quite easily. There's a still a load of stones to remove.

I'll probably put a row of spuds in here, they seem to do well in previously uncultivated land.
