Tonight’s task was to remove the weeds in plot 2 and plot 5, however, with a smaller (yet fierce) team on we thought weed see how we went … weed rather eliminate one plot fully than go to a draw on two of them.

So off to the allotments we ran. Sandy was on fighting form tonight as she ran all the way to the allotments till she saw the ‘end’ sign!

We only had one goal…. To win!

When we saw plot 2 it looked like a jungle and we thought we might even find some lionesses in there! The weeds were as tall as us and the ground was bone dry… this was going to be a tough challenge and we knew it was going to get Messi!

But we got stuck in with our forks and spades and hammered down the weeds!

It was a Ella a job but Jen managed to pull out 2 really deep rooted prickly weeds…. 2 to Jen 1 to the ground!

There must of been 56 different types of weeds in there but we’ve done this before and no way we’re we coming home without a win! Sarah (our task owner) knows that we are keepers so we weren’t going to let her down… and boy did it feel Sarina afterwards when weed cleared the whole area!

Even in this prickly heat we got the job done! 2:1 to us

Next week I’m away so out task in on Saturday 13th instead at Wexham allotments helping Mabu with a stream tidy up.
