Potatoes v dandelions

I've missed a few planned allotment days, so took a day off on Monday to go up there, do some digging, make more raised beds and so on. Unfortunately the good weather took a day off too. After 20 minutes wrestling with a garden storage box in horizontal rain, I decided that digging was going to be no fun at all, and gave it up.

The potatoes are up and the broad beans are in flower - good. Less good is a patch of nettles two feet high and dandelions everywhere. Time for an industrial-strength hoe.
