Back at plot today and took a few piccies!
First one is a view from the bottom of the left side of my plot which is fairly tidy. I put grass cuttings around savoy cabbages, beetroot and leeks.
Next piccie is the bed I was going to harvest the Golden Bear onions from. It was full of weeds but the onions didn't seem to mind! The onions I harvested are in the next piccie beside the Autumn planted ones which have dried off and are being used.
Next piccie is bed after onions have been harvested and hand weeded. After that is the same bed covered in cardboard followed by a deep layer of hay.
It was then I decided to do the bed beside it so weeded, cardboard applied again and hay on top.
Not a bad couple of hours spent methinks. No idea what I will put in those beds but I will think of summat!
Oops forgot to mention, I had forgot I had planted some soup celery in the plot and pulled one out before I realised. A few leaves in a soup is all that's required to give that distinctive celery taste.
