No rain please on a Sunday

Well i'm glad we visited the allotment yesterday (Saturday) as it was a lovely warm afternoon and as it had been raining on Friday all day the ground was lovely to work with.

The main aim was to get my onion seedlings in so that they have a good start to get a bit bigger before the frost comes. Top right of picture are the leeks (green patch) and next to them are the onion seedlings. The onions will stretch right down the length of that plot when they are thinned out next spring. Following on from the leeks will be my garlic which I have now received and ready to be planted. We had to rotovate the area first (thats why I wanted it to rain) to brake up the soil from when the potatoes were there.

Bottom left of top picture is spinach which I weeded and thinned out for them now to start getting bigger. Next to them is my curly kale which has grown well, I have cut it a few times for meals & a soup.

The boys built another compost bin so that I can rotate each year and over all the plot looked nice and tidy when we left and a good afternoons work done by us all.

Harvested another lot of french beans, a few runners, few tomatoes & brocolli. Whats for dinner? you ask. Veg of course!!
