When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Layed a brick path between bed 3 and 4, watered the compost heap, Ho Ho Hoed the spud beds (I love hoeing when its as dry as this).
Removed a few handfulls of couch grass. Forgot my water and overdid it a bit really but i made some good progress.

went up to the lotty today and had a nice time just watering knowing i could not do anything about the state of it was very freing :)
12 watering cans later i have watered everything that needed it and having not been to the plot in 2 days i am amazed at how much things have grown. It also amazes me that the roundup does not seam to have made a difference ;(

When you harvest them, dig the couch out again. Hammer it every chance you get, use black plastic on fallow ground, you do get there in the end. Fortuntely the roots are strong enough not to break apart as you dig them out, so with patience you can get the whole thing, as long as there isn't too much left after you dig it.
