A trip to the allotment was called for today as I was sick of stacking logs for the winter at home and decided to leave the rest for Ron.
Plot is looking reasonably tidy so hopefully I won't get a letter from the allotment Mafis (Council)
I planted 18 Autunm planted onion sets in each of two small plots which I prepared and fertilised first. I was going to add manure from the communal pile but it's all gone.Should have done it last time I was at lot but hey -ho,can't be helped.
I prepared another bed and sowed 18 Aquadulce broad beans and covered the bed with glass.
Then it was time to get on with what I seem to do most of.............weeding. Using the hoe it wasn't too badasthe weeds were minimal and Ijust left them on the surface.
I took a few random photos when I left.I tried to show how big the onion sets were (coud have been used as pickling onions!) Still loads to sow in succession.In the past I have always believed that the smaller sets have less chance of bolting?We shall see!
