A couple of hours spent on the plot today, yielded an onion bed or almost an onion bed.Digging out skutch grass is back breaking and time consuming, not to mention the stones! We have a lot of plants in pots waiting their turn to get a home but with our time constraints its slow going and time is running out for the plants.
All of the potatoes are up and have now been earthed up twice, they may have been late going in but the recent combination of heat and rain has driven everything up.
The onions loved the polytunnel but today they have been put outside to harden off. They are in the shelter of the polytunnel as this new plot is a very windy spot.The modules have worked well and the onions will planted out with very little if any root disturbance.
This pic was taken last week when they were inside with the tomato plants and sweetcorn which by today had really put on a growth spurt.
Lettuce was transplanted into the border and a row of Spinach was sown on the inside, I am actually enjoying the polytunnel and looking forward to seeing what we can grow in there.
The weather has reverted to cold and windy after the recent Thunder storms, we have not had very much rain here in the south but other parts of the country had.
Dublin and the east are on an orange weather alert for tomorrow when there will be hundreds of kids heading up for the One Direction concerts!
