Vinny's Allotment Plot

Spent a little bit of time in the sunshine at the plot this morning/afternoon.

Dug up the last of my Desiree potatoes. They came good in the end even though they were water deprived earlier in the year.

After digging over the bed again and raking it down I planted half the bed with red onions and half the bed with white onions.

I then moved on to one of the smaller beds that had  four inches of well rotted hoss muck dumped on it. I raked it roughly level and dibbered and planted 32 The Sutton broad beans direct  into the manure.Last year these beds had onion sets planted directly into manure, with good results, so I am hoping the same will happen for broadies.

The plot isn't looking too bad ging into winter. Most of the beds are occupied with crops and I still have more broadies,onion sets and brassicas to plant out.

The tree cabbage and the kale is starting to recover from the caterpillar attacks earlier in the year, so all in all I am pleased with progress!

I have added a few plot piccies below.
