It's beginning to look a bit tidier, although everything is showing the effects of rain and low temperatures. I suspect essential nutrients have been washed away downhill because things are just standing still. There's been little discernible growth in the last two weeks. Perhaps if I start to feed and water it'll all come right again? Perhaps??

Lots opf ticks.
We usually feed with a liquid seaweed food which the plants seem to like.
Yep, it certainly needs something despite being well manured last Autumn
I've been feeding my vegetables with a combination of liquid seaweed and a more general veg feed, but I suspect that it's the last few days of hot, dry weather that's actually made the buggers grow!
I've roped in Last-Born's boyfriend to help me with the weeding and clearing...I can't do it all on my own even if I have got the summer holidays to do it. He can do way more grunt work in one day than I can in 3, so he's worth every penny (and all the food he scoffs...do all 19yr old lads have hollow legs?!)
Yep, they do; it goes with the territory. Work him hard so he can repay the food investment!!
Bet it's satisfying to reclaim the plot from the weeds? I love it when you can properly see the stuff you actually want to grow properly!
looking round other people's plots at the back of our house there seems to be a lot of stalled growth. Even tomatoes under glass do not look fabulous this year. Still always next year LOL !!
Excited that I can say that now :) In preparation I've sown some globe artichokes (and something else that I didn't get time to label and have already forgotten what it was hahaa - old habits die hard).
The beetroots that I sowed last week have just pushed their heads above the soil :)
