I did some major weeding (more like strimming by hand).

We leave for two weeks on Saturday. Our plot neighbors were jokingly horrified, but kindly offered to water anything that looked truly dire in our absence.

Before we go

Plant out everything that isn't a greenhouse resident or intended for a hanging basket.
Pot on tomatoes.
Refill slug traps.

Tomorrow will be road trip to fort William mostly for chicken food & compost
Will probably have a go at filling our own cupboards while we're there as well .
