Keeping on top of things




Sunday was spent on the allotments. We decided to make full use of the good weather especially as rain was forecast for later in the week. Some jobs are just best done when its dry.
Kazzi spent an hour or two weeding out the 4 leek beds, leaving them nice and clean for the winter. I was not taking it easy as I moved a ton of 12 year old manure from my trailer into one of the new raised beds. It was promptly planted up with "Radar" autumn planting onion sets as space at the moment is at a premium.
Our new half plot (bottom picture) was treated to a haircut after being hit with glysophate a month ago. We never spray against pests but are pragmatic in using glysophate as we would never get on top of a new plot by hand weeding. Hope fully this plot will be rotovated within the next few weeks so that things can progress.
