Spring in the air...

It was quite chilly this morning down at the patch, but a bit of digging soon warmed us up !

Heather was busy planting Onion sets... 50 Red Baron and 50 Setton .

Heather then sowed a row of Beetroot in the plot where we will be planting Leeks. The idea being that we can harvest the Beetroot (for pickling in jars) before we plant the Leeks in early summer.

We have sown a variety called Moneta which has single (monogerm) seeds as opposed to the more usual varieties which have seed clusters. This will, hopefully, mean that there will be less thinning and less waste.
