The rainy day meant that Ms N's garden couldn't be mowed. Kash and Sevan were only too happy to complete the other part of the mission though, weeding the raised beds in her garden. They were large and mostly full of weeds. The only thing that Ms N wanted to save was the wild garlic. What about the potatoes that were sitting on the surface? They were to be "weeded" too and discarded. They were old news, now Ms N was all about garlic.

A light scent of garlic surrounded the weed pulling, most of which came out quite easily. A few brambles had started to take root, so where possible, they were dug out too. They shouldn't grow too much through the winter.

As well as removing all of the unwanted plants, Kash found time to turn over the soil in the flower beds, unearthing some potatoes that looked edible. The potatoes went into a bucket for Ms N to decide what to do with and 4 bags of waste were disposed of.
