Onion Beds Cleaned

• Weeding can be an enjoyable activity. Well maybe not the physical activity but the resultant tidiness that emanates from your endeavours most certainly is. Yesterday afternoon saw me extracting weeds from the areas in the vegetable garden which I have planted up with onion sets. Chickweed is the main problem. I have managed to get it out before it started flowering so hopefully the regrowth won't be too bad. I have placed a few handfuls of this pernicious weed in a container in the fridge with the intention of using it as a salad crop. I suspect it will taste much like cress. Bear Grylss would be proud of me!
