Vinny's Allotment Plot

I have been to the plot quite a few times since my last post, I just haven't recorded it.

I did take the seeded leeks up as they would just deplete nutrients. After weeding the beds I planted more leeks. The Japs are now harvested and in the two beds where they were I now have beetroot and savoy cabbage.

Today I harvested the remaining Japanese onions from another bed and planted it up with brussel sprouts. I also planted up my failed carrot bed with Kohl Rabi. The pigeons have been hammering my Savoy seedlin so I put a plastic pint glass over each of them to try and protect the growing tip.

I did loads of hand weeding and put down some cardboard on paths. I was also given another 4 bags of wood chip so that went down on paths also.
I sowed a few turnips where the slugs and snails had wiped out my previous seedlings. This time I added slug pellets.

I came away with a white cabbage, some immature spring cabbage for greens,some onions and a punnet of ripe strawberries. The straw berries have been one of my successes this year along with the onions.
