Back at the plot today for 1.5 hours.
Managed to actually get around to my first planting of the seaon being white onion sets. After hand weeding a bed I forked it over and levelled it with a rake. I wored out how many sets I had (40) and planted all inbed with three spare stuck in a corner in case any didnt take. After pushing sets in, and mainly to stop birds pulling them out, I covered bed with a sheet of glass. Once rooted I will take the glass off.
I also raked and levellled my parallelogram bed and planted Stuttgarter onion sets. This bed had Mooli in it last year..The mooli didn't survive the winter but rotted down well so I just dug it in as a manure.
I took the glass off a strawberry bed and hand weeded that too.I also hand weeded another strawberry bed. Some plants had been dislodged which were re-planted.
The elephant garlic is looking well along with the spring cabbage which is still covered.
Added a few piccies below.
