[growth] a wild allotment appears

A very kindly chased me out to the allotment today, where I got very close to finishing constructing my second raised bed. I ended up slightly giving up in exhaustion, but... well, while the rightmost of the two still needs its leg-holes sorting out, the right-hand one does now actually have four identifiable, connected sides, and is all in roughly the right place. Level and filled... is a work in progress.
Bonus of the day: some of the garlic I'd grumpily assumed just hadn't worked at all... is sprouting! to my astonishment! It's behind the ends of the fennels in the third bed from the left, completely invisible for all the weeding I need to do. And the rightmost bed contains shallots! Too pixellated to be identifiable, of course, but: shallots!
I am really really hoping that More Time At The Plot can happen now I'm done with lab. I do enjoy rummaging around in the dirt.
