Dug rest of Allotment 1 and continued to dig round Raspberries and Loganberries

Today I went down the Allotment for about 4 hours and I dug over the rest of Allotment 1 where all the autumn brassicas were. While doing this I took up the net and blue pipes that covered this part of the Allotment and have placed these into the Polytunnel for now. I have also continued to dig over where the Raspberries and Loganberries are removing lots of couch grass roots as well as bindweed roots. While doing this I dug up and a few of these but I have temporarily put them back into the ground and will replant them when I have fully dug over the area. I will continue doing this the next time I am down the Allotment as well as dig throughout the fruit cage. In the foreseeable future I will also mulch around all of the fruit bushes with manure once I have removed and dug around them. The weather for the day was mostly sunny and feeling really warm but getting chillier as the evening started to draw in. A frost is expected overnight however rain is expected to move in from the west and bring some rain first thing before clearing east during the day.
