It continues to be very mild so I took the opportunity today to plant a few sets. I put in about thirty Stuttgarter Giant and aroung the same number of a red onion. I also put in about ten shallots. They all went into a prepared slightly raised bed which should help them along with their early start. The garlic in the same bed is doing well.
I have been reading about companion planting and decided to put a row of onion sets into the bed where my carrots will be. I will net this bed also and hopefully will keep it carrot fly free. I have tried carrots in the open before - with no luck at all.
A fellow plot holder commented we could do with having the trees topped to the south of the plots. I agreed. They cast a lot of shade. I like the trees though - they also provide shelter and habitat for our feathered friends, but
