Back from a festival and when the rain stops WEEDS!

My beautiful basket to brighten my garden shed.

Over last weekend we were at Sunrise Celebration so the garden wasn't tended.  It has been raining for a few days now and after it had stopped this morning I wandered down to the veg patch and was amazed how many weeds had shot up at the slightest drop of rain.  As you can see there are thousands!
My onion patch is full of weeds as are my broad beans and mangetout and  chard :(
some where under that lot of chick weed is coriander
Having spent all afternoon in there I have found my veggies and managed to plant some more.

Weed free onions

I found my coriander and planted out my french beans (boston)

Weeded.  Sweet corn planted and more mange tout and cauliflowers and more french beans

My cucumber plants are on their way up and already have several baby cucumbers on them.  No E-coli for me!
