Planting Onions and Tidying

I planted out the onion sets last Thursday (during a week off work). There are two rows each of Stuttgarter and Red Baron, planted into manured soil. Since I'd forgotten to take any netting down with me, I used some chicken wire to cover the sets to prevent the cats/birds from disturbing them (see above left). No sign of the shallots I planted a month ago showing through the soil yet, but the garlic (planted last Autumn) is all growing nicely (see above right). I also removed the final weed-pile from the back of the allotment (as shown below right) so that the plot is now completely tidied up. The only job left to do in the next few weeks is to think about sowing the next lot of Broad Beans. Still picking parsnips and leeks.
