The last couple of days of sunshine have enticed me up to the plot for some more tidying and digging. There is a lot to be done and I don’t want to get too far behind.
I spent a couple of hours up the plot after work and planted onion sets, covering them with the thicker fleece to keep the night time frost off them. I hope the daytime sunshine will get them away quickly to catch up with other peoples!
I also cleared the area bordered by the box hedge, removing last year’s shallots that were never dug up. I shall use this area for sowing Spinach when it gets warmer.
The soil is easy to dig and it’s reasonably easy to get the bindweed out of it. A wren flitted about singing from the fence and a woodpecker ‘laughed’ as it flew across the plot.
At home here I potted the sprouting Early Peas and put them in a propagator in the dining room.
