Broad beans, peas & phacelia.

A mix of Phacelia (both sorts), Antirrhium, Bergamot, Limnanthes and Welsh Poppies in the M bed, roughly in the middle of the garden.
A mega packet of Phacelia tanacetifolium in a couple of beds but I still had lots left over so it was sprinkled on every bare space I could see.
After that, I moved to GH No 2 and "sowed" some old Meteor and Leo peas in one bed and scattered some Lamb's lettuce over them.
In another bed, I scattered a mix of Rocket, Dragon's Tongue Mustard Greens and Broccoli Raab Novanta and in the 3rd bed, which already has lots of self seeded lettuce and Chinese leaves (forgotten what they were) and some beetroot, I chucked some saved radish seeds.
l like random mixed up sowings because there's the challenge of identifying the seedlings as they emerge. As long as everything you sow together is either edible or ornamental you can't go far wrong.

Well, I started on planting out my alliums. A bit later than usual and I was disappointed to find one variety has already started sprout.
But I put in Summer drummer and allium white cloud. About 50....just another 250 to go

Put in some onion sets yesterday and prepared some ground for garlic. It is very wet but the worm are still alive so hopefully the garlic bulbs will be OK.
Next will be onion seeds for maincrop but will wait till January as not after whoppers. Easier to look after over winter in the packet than in a seed tray.

Potted on my leeklets from a seedhead. Noticed my garlic was showing above the surface and reminded myself I still have loads of onion sets to plant.

Sowed brown and red onions, never tried from seed before. Nothing ventured?
Also some Welsh Onions, about the 5th attempt, I don’t think they like me☹

Finally my peas are showing above the soil, to say that they had been pre-sprouted they've taken ages top come through. must be the time of year.
