The autumn planted onion sets are on their way. Onions were a major sucess on the allotment for us this summer, so we're hoping the good luck with alliums will continue. These were planted in on 1st October and weeded today.
We also harvested the rest of our potatoes. This bed had bigger potatoes and higher yield than the others, a fact we attributed to our unscienfitic mini experiment of lining the trenches of this last bed with comfrey before planting the seed potatoes in April. We'll have to expand the already massive comfrey patch if we want enough to line ALL the potatoes trenches next year.
