Can you dig it?

Serious digging today. Joined up beds 2 and 3, 4 and 5 and redug bed 7. Did large portions of bed 8 and removed about 50% of the carpet. Evil, evil stuff. It's biodegradable, they say, meaning you have semi permanent lumps of the stuff to make your spade go 'doooing.' and jar your back. Ugh.

The allotment looks like a tip while I move things around. Big fire tomorrow night, a bit of tidying up, and some photos to follow.

I need to weed! A lot!

Here's a picture of a lovely autumn visitor to our homes, that I found in ours, last night. The fastest running true spider lives in England and he is Tegenaria gigantea (aka Tegenaria duellica) - the giant house spider. Totally harmless. What you most often see is the male of species running around in Autumn, looking for a female to give him a hard time.
