Vinny's Allotment Plot

12 days since I've been to the plot as the weather ha been attrocious! Today I decided I would have to brave the heavy drizzle which seems to soak right through to the bone. 
Started off by watering the toms which weren't too desperate for water because I have so many pane of glass mising from greenhouse, and no door on, so they always get a bit of moisture from the elements. I sideshooted them and found a new way to fasten them to the canes, with gaffer tape! o

I then lifted a bed of onions and got two trays full out of that one bed!  (see piccie) Onions are now under glass.They are Japanese onions, Senshyu I think and the sets were planted in the bed in autumn, then the bed was covered with two sheets of glass throughout the Winter and glass removed in the Spring.I will do the same withthe Spring Cabbage once planted out in this bed.

I harvested a bag of yellow French beans. Quite a few had been gnawed by the slugs and snails but they left me a few at least! Those along with a largish courgette were my take home goodies.
Weeding the paths with the hoe was the next task. I'm sure a lot of the weeds I hoed were the ones that re sprouted from the last time I hoed them and left them lying. Stupidly I thought the sun would dry them out, but it's never stopped raining since.

The other piccies are of the elephant garlic waiting in the wings to be planted out soon (high hopes for the big rounds), my Spring cabbage seedlings which I stuck in the greenhouse to bring them on a bit and a couple of gladdies which have grown from last years corms left in the soil
