Vinny's Allotment Plot

I had to go to the Doc's today to hand something in and the Doc'sis closeto the allotments so I thought I would call in.

As usual I wasn't intending to do anything but finished up having  quite a productive time.

First thing I did was take the glass off a bed, make a seedbed and plant up the last of my japanese autumn planing onion sets. As I was on a roll I thought I may as well pull up the spring cabbage plants which had been shredded by caterpillars once I took the netting off them! The tree cabbage in a different bed has shook off its predation and started to grow leaves again after being in the ground for four years!

Once the bed was cleared I planted it up with elephant garlic which already had quite big root systems!
