Every minute spent clearing the ground ready for spring now, is worth 10 come April or May. Our main plot is laid down in the main to raised beds, and even after all of the rain we have had they are all workable. As we never walk on them they never need digging but they still need weeding.
And weeds such as this are the reason why. The mild winter has meant that lots of weeds have just kept growing and will be ready to swamp any seedlings come spring so it really does pay dividents to clear the weeds out.
Clean beds not only give you a head start for spring, but all of the over wintered crops such as these spring onions and celeriac fare much better having no competition.
