Things that need doing this week:
Watering - Its still hot and sunny so the crops we have managed to get in will need a good drink.
Pick carrots - It may be a little early, but the calendar says they should be ready so I want to pull a couple and see.
Clear the corn - or what little is left of it. some wildlife got in and has completely flattered all our plants, so we may as well clear it out now, keep the place tidy.
Digging the flower bed - it was dry and hard last week but with enough rain there is a change we can dig it.

Digging out raspberries and brambles - Its unlikely to be wet enough to double dig but there is a chance it may be wet enough to get out some of the old Raspberries and brambles.
Cut down/back a bush - The bush at the end of the cut flower bed needs to go. Chances are it will be too dry to dig it out still but I can still give is a good hacking back.
Burn weeds and other waste - This depends on the weather, you just cant trust the forecast lately.
Plant out seedlings - we have Beetroot, Swede, and Pak Choi seedlings waiting to go out, these will be going out at Bills so we can concentrate on ground work at the allotment.
Herb pots at home - I need to go buy more big pots and some compost for the herbs at home.
Bill is keen to get the manure in soon but I am happy to wait a little longer and focus on clearing and digging. For me I could even wait till the borders are in but its a partial democracy so there will probably be a a compromise.
I know I wont get it all done, most is dependant on weather but e will see.
