Quite a podutive day today. Once more, only one on site again! 
For a change, I managed to get done eveything I planned to do.
I started by digging ove a long diagonal bed with the intention of planting onion sets in it. Each time I dig beds I take stones out, and each time I find moe stones?
After digging, I raked the bed then planted 3 rows of onion sets. The centre row was Autumn Champion and the two oute rows were Radar. Before planting I scored three furows with a scrap piece of wood and planted sets in furows.
Once they were all planted (don't ask me how many?) I watered along rows which partly burried sets, which will hopefully keep the birds off them?
I took quite a few photo's of the initial dig, the area once raked, area once planted and area after wateing in. Maybe others as well? No praticular order either.
