Decided to brave the elements as it was quite warm. When it rained I took my tee shirt off and put it into the greenhouse to stay dry.
I planted the rest of my onion sets which have two chances,we shall see? This took up two of the beds which I had prepared earlier so I weeded and prepared another one for my swede sowing. I divided bed into three and sowed swede Marian, swede Tweed and swede Helenor. Tweed was an F1 variety so there was only half the seed that was in the other packets.It will be interesting to see if the F1 variety out performs the other two,and if not, why not?
I did a bit of hand weeding the buttercups but got sick after a short while. The flower sowing will just have to wait for another day!
