Done a bit of hoeing around the broadies. garlic and onions today. Smudging really as the weeds did not cut nicely with the hoe, not much there really but it gives me a week of grace when the weeds really get started. Plot held quite well over my absence.

Once the ground dries a bit I'll start preparing the beds  properly and hope for an early spring.
