Onions
I lost all my own onion plants and had to get some from Dan in February he was able to spare 12 which are now doing well in the tunnel. As I only have the 12 I have spaced them wider apart in the hope of getting larger bulbs
Shallots were put out in January and stood under snow for several weeks but they seem to have picked up now
Vento onion plants from Medwyns due to loosing my own are also now starting to bulb up
Carrots have all been thinned and are also doing well, i have planted some beetroot in one of the carrot beds to see if I get longer straighter tap roots
Celery will be ready for planting out in the next couple of weeks, I intend to grow them on pots stood in water this year to see if it makes any difference as when grown in beds I have suffered from heart rot.
I am also growing a giant marrow from seed obtained from a 120lb one
it is also now planted out and starting to fly
Spuds have now all been earthed up and all bags are full of compost I am only growing three variety's
and only 8 bags of each which should be plenty for the three shows I intend to stage at.
I will do my best to keep up to date from now on as I have a new phone which it is a lot easier to get the photos off and on to the pc.
