It's wonderful to see crops going in for next year isn't it, I too have planted garlic and onions but no doubt they won't grow, they don't usually, I think they hate our sandy well drained soil which is so hard to improve.xxxSnowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572555410663928295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-21328509265479820352014-10-31T18:18:22.942+00:002014-10-31T18:18:22.942+00:00Looking good! i am really pleased with my last ye...Looking good! i am really pleased with my last year's overwintered onions and garlic. At the moment I have so many self sown seedlings of pak choi, curly kale and swede, that I hardly know what to do with them. Whether it is warm enough to safely transplant them or whether to let them take their chance and transplant in spring.<br />I am intrigued, when you life your weed suppressing membrane do you find lots of invertebrates underneath the edges?swefflinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966574718104896830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-70507325829127091752014-10-31T13:59:10.139+00:002014-10-31T13:59:10.139+00:00It is all looking pretty good - what a great garde...It is all looking pretty good - what a great gardening year it has been.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-60412518800222458162014-10-30T12:00:28.658+00:002014-10-30T12:00:28.658+00:00You still have a lot out in your allotment.
