Spent a couple of hours on the plot this morning.
Started by preparing another onion bed by weeding, tickling with fork and raking to restore levels (Actually a nice litle camber across the bed) After that planted 90 Sturon onion sets + 20 Snowball onions sets and half a dozen japanese onions that I had previously recued from the said bed.(All that was left out of three rows planted in Autumn!)
I then harvested a full bed of leeks for myself and my Daughter who loves leeks. After weeding and digging this bed I added a wheelbarrow load of home made compost. Undecided what will go in this bed but whatever it is it will have a good start!
Lastly I weeded my strawberry bed which was an onerous task as it was full of couch grass, docks & creeping butercup!
Some piccies added below,one is a before and after of strawberry bed. The bed that had the leeks was the trapezium shaped bed just down from the enviromesh coverded snowball onion bed.
