I'm too tired to write much today, mostly because I've spent the afternoon building a raised bed, and transplanting the asparagus that has been growing for four years into it. I'm still not 100% convinced this was a good idea - partly because the asparagus plants made it very clear they didn't want to be disturbed - but I'm going to give it some time, and see how they get on before pronouncing this either a brilliant or disastrous move. Still, it's tidied up an unruly patch of the allotment, and hopefully this will please my neighbour, who wages a continuous chemical war against his weeds, and must be constantly distressed (enraged?) by the encroachment of weeds from this vegan, semi-organic, definitely more liberal, gardener...
