This weekend was a corker - record temperatures. By virtue of the fact that I am no longer on the committee I had two hours of sunshine to work on my plot this Sunday. I took with me my Epicure first early potatoes (as you'd expect from my last post), some Early Onward peas, soaked overnight, Onion seeds and some onion sets that I had brought on in cells at home. All missions accomplished. But on arrival the garlic provided a welcome surprise. I've only tried to grow garlic once before and it was not a good or rewarding experience. But waiting to greet yesterday was this:

| Garlic in March |
Not only is there healthy growth, but as yet there are no weeds!!! Surely this is going to be a success this time....?
I love sowing the first row of onions:

| 1st row to sow |
In fact I sowed both pre-soaked and dry peas just to see if it made much of a difference.

| Peas soaked and dry |
But pride of place still goes to the garlic!
At the end of the row is my dalek rhubarb forcer - Yes for those who have noticed my omission, F preceeds G, but I got a bit carried away! For good measure here's my belated F for forcing Rhubarb.
