I spent a few hours on the allotment this weekend while the weather was good.
Yesterday, I planted about 120 Onion sets (Sturon) and about 60 Shallots of three different varieties.
Today I turned over a couple of empty patches at the rear of my plot and made them ready for planting. You can see the two empty patches in the photo below:
Doesn't look like the Aspargus in the raised bed is doing anything at the moment, but perhaps it's too early to see any activity?
Here's the view looking down the plot to the rear. You can see the two empty patches that I turned over this morning:
The Currant bushes seem to be really coming on now:
Here's a photo of the fruit cage which I put over the Broccoli last week, seems to be doing its job:
I've not seen any activity in the two windowsill Propagators yet, but it's been less than a week since I set the Leek and Sweet Corn.

Not rabbits, Pigeons!
We are plagued with Wood Pigeons round here, so leaving any Brassicas uncovered is a big no-no as they'll quickly get eaten.
