Allotment
My health has improved enough to do a little bit of work on the allotment, and Richard is able to do more now his morale has improved (employment makes a big difference to morale).
We've a lot to catch up on - it had been getting pretty weedy.
We've planted some onion sets for next year and are experimenting with over-wintering shallots. It's important to firm the soil around the sets rather than just pushing them into the soil as the birds are very keen on pulling them up.
Richard's also planted some broad beans - mixing some compost and well-rotten manure into the soil.
