WEED DAY

WE DID A BIT OF WEEDING IN THE ALLOTMENT TODAY. AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, ONGOING MAINTENANCE IS SO IMPORTANT-EVEN THE LITTLE THINGS. HAVING RAISED BEDS, JUST MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER.  

Garlic

Today at the allotment we planted our garlic bulbs-nine in total. Obviously, we are hoping to get a good crop.They usually take about 9 months before they are mature-I can't believe that!

Onions

At the allotment today, we planted our onion bulbs. There are two types of ('short-day') onions: yellow/ red and they should be ready at the beginning of spring (about 5 months). Quite a lot of preparation had been done in the bed before planting, so we are hoping to get a good crop.

AUTUMN

It's the allotment that keeps giving back, but you have to put the work in to get the results.This week more broad  beans! I'm not sure how they will be used yet, but anything is possible...boiled, curried...
