Spent a few hours last night weeding the veg patch. Turns out I’ve been growing the onions and garlic all wrong. You need to clear the earth away from the bulbs to encourage them to grow outwards. I’ve done that now for the onions so hopefully they will start looking like onions rather than scallions.
I don’t think I’ll get much of a harvest this year. Still, you live and learn. I hope the spuds fare better they are starting to flower so should have a crop in around six weeks time.
