Pruned Gooseberry bushes, Cleared Rhubarb bed and dug the front edge of the Fruit Cage

Today I went down onto Allotment 1 for about 2 1/2 hours. I pruned the Gooseberry bushes quite hard because they were falling over.

I also cleared the Rhubarb bed from weeds (mostly Couch Grass and Bindweed roots) so that they are able to grow without weeds all round them. While doing this I also dug out and straightened the front edge of the Fruit Cage to enable me to peg the net down into the soil.
