It’s been raining heavily in Brisbane for weeks. Plenty of rain and mud down at the allotment. I am lucky enough to own a pair of really good rubber gardening shoes so I can still enjoy a visit to the farm without getting my feet wet.
With the ground being so wet there is not much I can do in the allotment so I’ve been working on improving the footpaths. Plenty of nut grass was running a bit wild along the footpaths so I’ve been digging that out, then I cover the cleared ground with an anti-weed mat. You can do this with old carpet or a thick layer of wet newspapers. Then I cover with wood chip.
When I went to the farm yesterday this is what was growing in the wood chip pile next to my allotment.
Good to see something’s growing well over at the allotment, but I won’t be frying it with my bacon and eggs.
