Vinny's Allotment Plot

Had a decent session at the plot today and managed to get the last of my Centurian F1 onion sets planted. I also planted some white onion sets which were very small (the size of a pea) That's three long rows of spring planted sets to compliment a similar quantity of Autumn planted sets.

I also prepared a couple of beds and sowed six packts of brassicas in one. They will hopefully grow into seedlings and be transplanted around the plot when ready. From memory they were two kales,savoy cabbage,green sprouting calabrese, PSB and a greenish looking cauliflower 'Romanesco' One of the kales was Tuscan kale and along with the other kale were old packets of seeds so I'll just have to wait and see if they germinate? The bed is of a size I can cover it with mesh once stuff has germinated to keep pigeons off!

The other bed had three packets of flower seeds sown in it. Two were the free ones from RHS (cosmos  and summat ealse) for the bees and the third was Thyme.

Lots of weeding dome on paths with hoe and hand weeding done on beds. Some of the many flowers I sowed last year are still growing but I have no idea what they are?
