Monday afternoon finished up mild and sunny with the temperature managing to just make it to 20°C - a rarity this June.
On the plot the overgrown bed of last year’s over wintering cabbages and weeds has been cleared and is now ready for digging over. The ground was on the wet side so I’m leaving it a couple of days to let it dry out a little.
Our winter onions planted on the 4th October last year have survived winter and are now large enough to use. These onions don’t store well and usually keep us supplied in onions for the next three months when the onion sets planted in Spring will be ready to lift and store over winter.
Another couple of harvesting first’s for the year were a few radishes “Sparkler 3” sown 26th May and a few alpine strawberries.

I love alpine strawberrys I use to pinch them from my aunties garden when I was young. (not that far from you infact!)
ReplyDeleteOnly problem - they take ages to harvest a reasonable amount!
ReplyDeleteMy Onions ready as well.I also harvested the garlic from last year. My first try.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen
ReplyDeleteOur garlic a disappointment. It's grown well enough but our first few bulbs haven't formed cloves. Next year perhaps.
