Zebra - bindweed goes completely mental this time of year. It just suddenly grows like a triffid. The good thing about that, I guess, is that if you hit it hard now, you will really be doing it some damage. I think you can steam and eat the roots (though obviously not if you've used glyphosphate) - never tried it myself, but you could try swapping it for bean sprouts in a stir fry!!
Unfortunately, even the tiny hair-thin bits can sprout. However, they produce smaller, weaker plants that are easy to get rid of.
goodbook - those strawberries are just mouthwatering. I can almost smell them through the screen! There's nothing like the taste!
linski - your enthusiasm is so infectious! I think the start is, in some ways, the most exciting time. It's just so lovely to see things come together.
I'm going to my plot tonight for the first time in a week. DH enforced a temporary allotment ban, as I was starting to fiddle with things that should just be left to grow (I have a habit of this). I My back garden is looking much tidier and nicer as a result, though!
Fingers crossed that all my little green babies are still fine....
