Onions in

We spent a couple of hours preparing our onion bed today so that we could plant some onions and beetroot. There were 3 separate varieties. We mainly chose Stuttgarter as they were recommended to us. Im still on the lookout for a cheap rotovator (if theres such a thing).

Well it finally feels slightly worthwhile now - We planted cabbages, Cauliflower and Kale. With your mind fixed on digging all the weeds, etc you forget what your actually doing all the work for. Seems worth it now.
We purchased 7.5kg of Maincrop Cara potato seeds today with which these will be going in on 2 plots. This will be used to clear the other plots from weeds. So i have been told this does a good job.

Holiday

Since our last update we have had a holiday and been generally busy but we still managed to pop down for a couple of hours here and there. we have one full row all ready to go now which will be for our potato seeds(all 180 of them). we have also started on the second row which will hopefully be for onions, etc. I ordered a small set of overalls for Evie which they quickly arrived. She now looks the part bless her. Was thinking of getting a set for Paula, LOL!
