Planted Rocket
Planted a row of rocket where the shallots have just been dug up.
The shallots didn't do very well. Maybe they were planted at the wrong depth, or they weren't watered enough.
The onions sets did better. We had some white skinned ones and some brown ones (think the Brown ones were 'Shakespeare'). The brown skinned ones did best of the two. Some of the onions bolted (threw up a flowering stalk - this is not what you want as they put the energy into the flower instead of the bulb). Probably not enough watering when it was dry - plus there was a spell when I didn't do enough weeding.
Rocket is a handy crop. It lives up to it's name and grows really fast. It's a leaf veg with a good flavour - Richard really loves it and often puts it in sandwiches with tahini or cheese.
I cleared a row of sugar snap peas that had finished. Sugarsnap are delicious and half of them never make it home as they get picked and eaten on site!

I shall watch out for withering on the others and act accordingly.
