Spent a pleasant 1.5 hours at allotment in the sunshine. Raked a previously dug area and planted four X 8 foot rows of red onion sets and sowed one row of Limanthus (Poached egg plants) down the edge of my central path.
Pulled all of my sweetcorn up and composted it. In the bed it was in, I planted three rows of Senshyu onion sets.
Hoed off a large area which I intend planting Spring cabbage in. They are in short rows ready for transplanting.
In another bed I was dismayed at a cauliflower which wasn't doing well. Once I pulled it up I found out why....clubroot. Hopefully its confined to this small bed only as I always grow my own brassicas from seed and never in the same place twice. Bugger!
