2022 - What I did today

Well I've done a bit with onions this week. Saturday pulled maincrop up and left in heat to dry then hung them up to store on Tuesday. Today, I sowed onions for Autumn planting, Shensyu Yellow. There were so many seeds in the packet, I sowed twice what I first thought of. The second thought was that I could use some early on as spring onions. I got them eventually from Mole seeds (£1.95 for 5g.) as I was ordering other stuff but they were cheaper from seeds direct. I usually plant sets but seeds should work out a lot cheaper - as long as they survive the winter - and I survive this winter. Hopefully they will be planted out late October/early November when allium leaf miner should be finished.
My broadbean crop was not too bad this year. Just about 1kg from a 12' row. It's a bit hit and miss with having bees that help themselves to the nectar without bothering to pollinate the flowers.
In the Greenhouse, I'm fighting a loosing battle against spider mite, leaf mould and voles + some moles as well now but still harvesting a reasonable amount of tomatoes and aubergines as well this year also the odd cucumber.
I picked a big bowl of damsons today from the hedgerow. They are quite big, more like a small plum but don't know how long they will keep on fruiting now as I noticed some with 'Plum Pocket Disease' this spring.
I put some courgettes in a box by the gate for people to help themselves. When the bin men had been, they were all gone.
