Gone in an instant

Well, actually it took a big lad and his father a good two hours to lay about the shed and reduce it to bite-sized portions, but it's all gone now and good riddance to it.

While they were about their labours, I planted potatoes and sowed leeks and spring onions, and cleared a bit more plot. Lifting the black plastic I found it had worked well on the grass, reduced to straw, but apparently dandelions and nettles can grow in the absence of light and water. I don't remember my lessons on photosynthesis at school covering this.
