Drought plagued plot

Because of the drought(!) yesterday was the first day in over 2 weeks I managed to get to the plot. Was starting to get a bit anxious that everywhere isnt ready for planting out. 

There was much intaking of breath and tutting from the ol' boys when I said I was going to weed. 'Nah, you cant do that, its too wet' etc so I rolleyed my eyes as usual and showed them how its done!

Oh, before I go, my little fig tree in the back garden has 7 baby figs on it :D
