Today I strimmed and trimmed the grass paths in the veg garden. I have eleven rectangular beds surrounded by grass and eleven grass paths between them. 
The rest of the garden is rampant and pretty weedy, as are some of the veg beds between use. But not the paths.
My guilty secret is loving having the paths dead straight, neat, and well clipped.

I was looking at my onions Friday and thinking I ought to give them a feed.....yesterday I got some BFB to feed them, Allium Leaf Miner had beat me to it,  160 onions with  collapsed twisted leaves.

Just seen this Quiz but I've no idea what the answers are!
Won't stop us trying, will it?

My wife has enquired today if I could draw up  list of things I'd like for my birthday. 
Problem is I'm a simple soul and think myself very lucky that I don't want for much. I was treated to a hori hori and japanese hand hoe a while ago and I love these. 
Is there anything (gardening related or not) that you have that is really useful or that you received as a gift having never thought of getting for yourself?

           

I found this clump of alliums when clearing a bed. To the best of my knowledge they've never flowered but it was obviously an allium from the smell of the leaves - which are flat, like garlic and leeks, not hollow like onions. I actually thought it was an ornamental allium.
When I dug them up, I didn't expect to find these bulbs and they're a reasonable size for eating too - I know because I've just eaten one raw! The bulb was splitting into 2 cloves and tasted like a mild garlic. 
The skins have a reddish tint. 
If anyone can identify them, I'd be grateful. I'm going to split the clump and replant somewhere random!!

Does anyone have much experience of kohlrabi growing, especially late sowing for a late Autumn/Winter harvest? Realseeds seem to suggest that this is possible, and I'm wondering whether they might be something I could grow on a window sill from a June sowing until October, and then plant out when (if!) I have a garden? Or will they be enormous by then, or hate being transplanted?

Growing carrots for the first time and have just thinned them out, do I still need to protect them with netting?

FYI they are in pots.

I'm always intrigued by the different ways people do simple tasks - so let's share how similar or diverse we can be!!
