Some of us have finally made a start actually planting stuff in 2 of the raised beds. On Wed. Patrick (Sheena's husband), Maureen (my local historian friend) and I planted some onion sets in the 4th bed (furthest from the gate), and since Patrick had invested in and brought along a new garden fork, we also prepared the bed which Nick had made a start on (well, Patrick did the hard work!). Today Patrick and I turned up to meet Hugo who'd promised us some tatties and more onion sets (sprouting). 4 rows of potatoes are now in the 3rd bed, and the sprouting onions with the others in the 4th. See how long they last! Intriguingly, there was a burn hole in the cardboard on the 3rd bed.
