Onions, the Reds going to seed

The Red Onions appear to be going to seed a bit early.

Asking other Allotment Owners what to do, it seems i can cut off the flower heads, but basically if theyve started going to seed then they are ready to pick.

So will pick them tomorrow then.


Fortunately the other onions havent shown signs of bolting or going to seed yet


























 BELOW : The Elephant Garlic should be ready to pick June/July once the leaves turn yellow.









Borrowed next doors Sieve, place on the wheelbarrow, and dig a trench, and put the compost on the sieve.   Fantastic way to clear weeds and stones.

Time consuming, but look at the result.

 The Broad Beans also starting to come through good

 The Carrots also doing really well



 Finally got round to putting my Leeks into the ground.
 My Antartica Lettuces are also doing really well.  Going to pick one tomorrow for my salad this week.
 The Radish Rats Tails,  a normal variety fo Radish and Spinach also starting to come through

 The Potatoes also doing really well aswell   Below, Coffee Break!
