I’ve been stone picking. Mainly just to keep warm , so I was just standing around watching.

Decided to put a wooden frame round the top of my new raised bed, this will let me secure any enviromesh that I might use over the bed, was getting on quite well but got stopped with the rain, so just wondering what I can get up to now

3 stomps to the plot, took 5 more bags of leaves, food scraps, cardboard, and shredding’s.
Potted on a comfrey plant in the yard, the others were put in a bed at the plot about 2 months ago. This is their first year from root cuttings.
Carried on sorting through my box of seeds, I have too many but will probably buy more? Well different / new things to try as I have the space now!
Collected 4 more bags of leaves.

If you leave a leek to bolt and set seed there will be small bulbs at the base of the leek. Maybe this is what he's selling? Dunno but let us know how they grow for you.

There are lots of orange/yellow mushrooms growing round 2 large pine trees. I was worried it could be honey fungus but that has a collar round the stem just below the cap - which was absent on the fruit round the trees. If Mikey was about I'd ask if it was edible (but doubt I would risk it anyway).
Also there are lots of small pale toadstools coming up in a lawn for the first time in 35 years. Not sure what that is about.

What i would call 'Leek grass'
RE: Tell us what you did today - Veggie - 11-11-2020
Yes, Vinny, that's the one I saw. Found a reference to Multiplier leeks on an Australian Permies site but not much else.
Unfortunately, the Beechgrove garden episode isn't available now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bkydb4
EDIT Found it on youtube but I can't see those leeks https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x74tetg

Got the opportunity to buy some seeds this morning don't really need anything but came across a winter squash called mash potato, so picked that, the other five seed packets I also bought, are just incase seeds
