After the last week Tuesday was a shock to the system and a reminder it’s October. The wind was still strong but its mild Monday feel had disappeared and it took on a cold edge. The temperature managed the mid teens rather than the mid twenties. October had definitely arrived.
After our day out on Monday we thought a visit to the plot to plant our winter onions would be a good idea. The ground is very dry, the hot weather and winds of the last week have totally dried out any moisture remaining in the soil. The four different varieties have each been given a row of their own and sufficient space left between each bulb to allow for weeding. This seemed to work well for our summer onions so we’re hoping it will work just as well for our winter ones. Rain is forecast for Thursday but I somehow have the feeling I'll be watering these onions by the weekend.

Hope you are spared the watering.

ReplyDeleteWe've had some squally showers accompanied by gale force winds but I reckon it will be enough for our onions for a few days.
