I haven't even tackled mine yet, rain then sun , I really don't know when i'll get weeding but if you're not fond of ballet I've found another great exercise. This morning I was sieving my compost heap to get some nice fresh stuff from the bottom of my "dalek". Whow what an work out for hips, pelvis and muffin top, my abs haven't worked so hard for ages.

    Tackled mine this Sunday in the sunny weather I have been waiting for. Not to bad to turn over the bigger flowering beds with the garden hoe, but did struggle with the 30cm wide by 1.5 meters long flower bed I have with tulips and crocus growing,not a lot of room to use the hoe without damaging plants, found it to be a lot easier with a long flat head screwdriver to turn the soil over in between the plants worked a treat. But my back didn't approve.

    Thank the garden  gods we re now getting some dry e weather in Birmingham where I live. It is quite amasing how the soil has dried out over the last 5 days good enough to de-weed the boarders in my garden. I have recently purchased a manual cultivator that will glide through sodden soil so that the air and sun get through to it. It also grubs out weeds very well and is also good for spreading grow more in to the soil

    Probably the best thing I purchased for the garden for a long time
