I've finally got round to planting the onion sets and garlic that I bought from the Allotment Association shop a couple of weeks ago. I've postponed digging up the rest of the potatoes, and cleared the corn and weeds on my onion spot for next year. Part of my plan for the allotment is to limit bed width to 1.2m wide, to limit my having to compress soil. This theory is working already!
There's been a couple of nights of frost earlier this week, so I was worried that I'd left the onions a little late. I found a new cloche tunnel in the shed, so I built that over the onion and garlic. Hopefully that'll protect them from frost and animals pulling the sets out. Fingers crossed it doesn't blow away!
