Managed an hour at the plot earlier today. I still had japanee onions left which needed to be planted as they were starting to put out roots.
I have a long bed that had French beans in it earlier in the year so set to hand weeding this followed by tickling bed over with fork and finally raking kind of level. I say kind of because there was still a bit of frost in the ground which took a bit of breaking up!
Once bed was prepared I planted two rows of Radar onion sets and one row of white onion sets. I still have a few white onion and red onio sets still to plant yet but need to find a spot for them.
Piccie of planted up bed below.
I left for home with a large tray of onions that I had stored in the greenhouse
