Sneaked another 1.5 hours at the lottie on the pretence that I had to go and water stuff!
Planted eighteen blocks of red torpedo onions. Quite a few of my autumn planted red onion sets have bolted so I pulled them out. About 5% up til now but probably more to follow.
After I watered up I got on with the onerous task of hand weeding. Mainly docks and buttercup which seem to be the dominant weed on my plot.
Its surprising though how half an hour here and an hour there can keep on top of a fairly substantial sized plot without being too backbreaking.
I need to get carrots, French beans and runners sown ASAP so that's next on the agenda.............until I get to the plot and all my plans go out the window!
