Two posts in one week! There’s something wrong!
I’ve decided to let the onions at the allotment that have started to go to seed to continue going over and to produce some nice Alium heads. The Mrs. likes to have flowers about the place, so I suppose I should do my bit…it’s not like we are short of onions!
The potato bed I cleared recently looks quite bare above, but it has just been filled with about 40 or so Leek seedlings. I didn’t reaklly have a dibber, so used the end of my hoe to make the deep holes, almost hoeing my face multiple times in the process! Not much to see just yet though. The watering can decided to fall apart (I’m definitely sure it was a conscious decision!) while i was filling the seedling holes with water so they got done, but I’m not sure how well.
The carrots above have been so intermittent. I’ve come to the conclusion that as the soil has been ‘grown in’ for two years without any organic matter being added whatsoever, it has decided to get its own back. Fair enough. Looks like there may be some digging in order in the very near future.

I’m doing the same as you. My leeks will be planted in the potato bed once they have been harvested.
