Another hour at the plot today. Hand weeded a bed then dug it over by loosening the soil.Some of the bed had self seeded poached egg plants in it. I have heard of these being used as a green manure before so dug some in to give it a try.
Once bed was hoed and raked I planted 30 snowball onion sets in it. I covered bed with enviromesh until the sets have put down roots then I will take it off.
I row of brasiicas in my other seed bed did not germinate,so I lifted the debri netting and sowed a row of Swedes to in it's place, be transplanted later along with other brassicas.
I still have 260 onion sets to plant so will have to find space for them.
If all these onions come to fruition I'll have to get a bike and go round selling them like the French Onion Man
