It was cold but bright today so working on the asumption you don't get too many days like this at this time of year I decided to visit the plot on the way back from doing my shopping.
I prepared a bed and used a dibber to mark positions for planting some small spring cabbage I had sown in a seed bed earlier in the year. Because they were so small I planted them in clumps and if they all 'take' I will thin them out at a later date.
The bed next to it I planted 24 Elephant garlic.
The broad beans have grown a bit since the last time I was at the plot so I put some slug pellets around their soft growth because if they look appetizing to me they will look appetizing to slugs and snaisl as well!
Before I left I gathered some of the Austurian tree cabbage leaves to give those a try when I got home. I wa pleasantly surprised and actully think I prefer them to Spring Greens!
Below are a couple of piccies of all three smller beds planted up for winter. I still habe loads of Jpanese onion sets to plnt yet but need to prepare a pot for them first. That'smy next job on the plot.
