Onions

Didn't manage it on Christmas day, but today I sowed the first onion seeds (Bedfordshire Champion), the first sowing of the new season.

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas to our reader(s).

Today the final Christmas vegetables were harvested ready for tomorrow. Due to the poor quality sprouts (blown) and carrots (root fly) these have been supplemented from the shops, but otherwise its all to be allotment grown.

The weather is still mild, such a contrast to last year, but we've finally got round to bubble wrapping the greenhouse.

The plan is to sow the first onion seeds tomorrow, Christmas Day.

Winter Warmer

Today was our "Winter Warmer", a chance to say hello to fellow allotmenteers over a soup and roll and a cup of mulled wine.
