I did manage to get outside for a while. I've sown some seeds, but had to go back to baggy sowing for quite a few things as I'm so short of compost.
I've also planted out my surviving onions (multi-sown into modules). They were starting to look a bit desperate to escape the modules, so I've just had to put them in anywhere I can. Most of them have gone into the poor clay soil between my fruit bushes, with some going in a no-dig bed I've made with cardboard and compost. I could have put them all in there, but I want to have a patchwork garden rather than everything of one kind in one place. The clumps are a bit too close together, but it will have to do.
I planted out some rather sad looking kale from some modules too. I have to say, I'm not loving the Charles Dowding modules. The individual modules are so small that they dry out so easily, even when it's not all that hot. I think the bigger module sizes are overall better, though they do take up more space.
