First seeds

After a two hour stint today I thought I should update my blog. The onions planted last autumn are not brilliant, there are a lot of gaps. I hoed the ones we have today. But want to put on the record, 2 onion sets is definitely one too many, we still have onions coming out of our ears and I have been chucking away plenty of rotten ones. 

We put in some first earlies last week, Maris Bard if I remember correctly. Three rows, the top row earth mounded up a lot, the Middle a bit and the lower one not at all. The strawberries which I transplanted look healthy enough and the ones not moved are starting to flower. So hopefully we could have a reasonable crop. 

The seeds sown today were Ambassador peas next to old raspberry canes, for them to grow up.  Then a half row of Cylindra beetroot, 1/3 row Long Red Surrey carrots and a little bit of home chive seeds.  In the third and final row I sowed Coriander, one seed every two inches and the last 1/3 was Italian salad blend sown quite close together it said 3-4 weeks.  I should go and put some slug pellets as it is right next to the black plastic.  Didn't think of this till now.
