Manure! After having the whole plot dug over and weeded in the last few afternoons, I have sowed green manure ( rye grass & trefoil/Clover) in all the empty space left after harvest to improve and maintain plot seven's soil.
I hope that they will be forming a green carpet that stops weeds colonising and prevent nutrients from being washed away.
Last season I had cast some green manure in the vacant bed and I am well impressed in the improvement in soil quality. So fingers crossed.

Sweet Sweet Sweet Corn !
Popped down the allotment to have a look at whats growing and the sweetcorn is rushing along, with the warm weather I had to give the patch a real good soaking with some nice cool water to ensure they stay the course!
I ask you this, what is it with the weeds, they grow faster than the veggies !
