Starting to Plant.

Well, we have a dry day, the first one for a long time. So, it seemed sensible to take advantage of this to do some planting. Also, I had to attend a Committee meeting where we were meeting a member to sort out some misunderstandings about flags and the removal of soil!!!

Surprisingly the soil was not too wet.

Planting in order from the strawberry bed end:-

  1. Solent Wight garlic the separate bed at the back to compete with the strawberry plants I added in the autumn.

  1. 10 Mikor shallots for half a row.

  1. Following on and for the next row Hercules F1 onions.

  1. Then one and a half rows of Red Baron onions.

Overall the allotment is not looking too bad, with the extra row of broad beans just sticking their heads above the soil.
