I harvested my first raised be of onions and hung them in the poly tunnel to dry, I them dug the raised bed, turned the soil added a 60L bag of quality compost, plus granular sea weed. Dug it all in and raked over.
I then trimmed up a load of strawberry plants from the poly tunnel trimmed off dead and dying leaves etc. Then took them out of the pots and cleaned off all the old soil , soaked them in seaweed rooting compound and transplanted into the onion raised bed, I might get some more growth on them this year, but mainly planning for next year. I will cover them with straw when we are approaching winter.
I weeded 2 of my potato drills, very poor show this year with the spuds, they look to have been attacked by some form of aphid.
I picked some tomatoes gherkin, beetroots for my niece who came to visit today.

Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.
