After getting the go-ahead from the Council to demolish my rotten fence, I went yesterday armed with an axe! I didn't have the heart to attack it so instead I propped it up again (a bit Heath Robinson, but it appears to do the trick?) and will leave it vowing to 'do a number on it' if it comes down again! 
As it was a sunny day I thought I may as well crack on and get a bit done on the plot. I dug over about twenty foot off one of the diagonal beds, bashed down the lumps and raked it level. I then planted a row of Centurian F1 onion sets down the centre of bed spacing about six inches apart.
A row will follow down either side at a later date to give a continuation of cropping hopefully?
I then bashed down with rake the other two areas I had dug over recently and raked level.
To finish off I dug up four rather nice leeks to take home for my daughter. None of the leeks are bolting yet, but I know they soon will so need to get them used.
