Yesterday I bought some garlic and onion sets from the allotment shop. I bought 1 blub of Solent Wight garlic (£1.60), 1 bulb of Picardy garlic (£1.60) and 1 bulb of Elephant Garlic (70p), and also 150g of Radar overwintering onions (90p), so today we put in 4 rows of onions, 2 rows of Solent Wight and 2 rows of Picardy garlic. We sowed the Elephant garlic in the corner of the onion bed next to the row of Pak Choi.
Daddy tried to get some scaffolding poles into the ground for the raspberries for support but the ground was too hard, so he will try again with Uncle Nige next weekend when I am on my Pamper day at Aries. They are hoping to make a compost heap as well for us next weekend :-)
Daddy & Henry dug all the remaining potatoes out of the potato bed and yesterday we removed all the cauliflowers as they had started to bolt. We had cauliflower bhaji last night, spicy cauliflower soup today, and still have plenty over.
We also removed the runner beans today as the only beans left on had gone too big and stringy. Some of the garlic bulbs that were left over went into Henry's plot as well.
