Sowing the seeds

We had a very productive morning down at The Patch today.

After lifting the black polythene sheeting, the nursery bed was raked-over and we sowed Leeks (Bleu de Solaise & Oarsman F1) and some Purple Sprouting Broccoli.

In the remaining area, we sowed Shallots (Banana) and Onion (White Spanish Sweet).

We allocated a space to plant Onion (Kelsae) seedlings once they are large enough to transplant.

We lifted the Onion plants (Sehshyu Yellow) that were sown in the Autumn and transplanted them in a new bed with good spacing to allow them to attain a good size for the kitchen.

In the space vacated, we sowed a row of Spinach (Perpetual & Fiorana F1) and a row of Japanese Bunching Onions (Ishikura).

To complete the morning, a row of Beetroot (Moneta) and a part row of Radish (Candela di Fuoco) were sown either side of the Apples.
