OK, so for the last 3 weeks I have been at the allotment Saturday and Sunday and all I have done is weed half of one bed. This took so long mainly because there was more root than soil in the thing, but I knew I was going to be donated some raspberry canes and I needed a properly weed free bed to put them in.
The bed after 6 hours weeding:
Scary amounts of weeds, mostly bramble roots and ivy roots. Maybe some triffids too.
However, today, after 9 total hours of weeding, I had HALF a weed free bed and have planted my raspberry canes!
The rest of the garden hasn't been totally neglected though. I hired a couple of handy minions to do some digging for me:-
And I have two new beds dug - though of course they now need to be thoroughly weeded before planting anything. Next weekend I intend to get at least one weeded, and some onion sets planted in there.

This is the overall view from the gate now - everyone has been very busy.
And here is from the shed looking down (mine is the tatty one :( )
