ONIONS

We planted both white and red onion (bulbs) today. Each person has their own little area to work with. Ongoing...tidying up...A lot of  rubbish and waste gets collected and it's not so easy to get rid of it. Storage is a bit of a problem also, so it's necessary to be able to get rid of that waste and rubbish quickly, but...    

Tidying up

Allotment today: it was general cleaning and clearing. There is not a lot of storage space for bits and pieces, so the area we use can get very untidy and disorganised easily.  

Garlic and shallots

At the allotment today we planted shallot and garlic bulbs. We're very organised, with separate 'drills' and name tags and sticks as markers, for each channel-so we'll be able find them!   

Sue leaving

It's Sue's last week at the allotment-I'll be sorry to see her go. Lots of weeding today! 
I had my phone stolen on Sunday and feel really  angry about that.  

Harvest Festival Show

No allotment today, as Sue was away.  However, there was a drawing and painting session (at Bede) instead. The vegetable painted pieces, will provide part of the backdrop, for the Harvest Festival Show tomorrow. 

Carrots

Allotment today: routine maintenance, including weeding, general tiding up. Everything is well organised. We did get to take home some lovely bunches of carrots, so that's something to have with a meal this week! The Harvest Show is next Wednesday...    

More weeding

A brief pause...today more weeding-where do they all come from?  Small, but persistent. All the weeds go in to the compost bin though, so nothing is wasted.
