Sunny 20th April!

After what has seemed like endless rain for the past few weeks, finally today was dry and sunny.

This was a great opportunity to check the raised beds and sieve a couple of them and apply manure to the other two.

In one of the freshly sieved beds I planted 3 rows of beetroot, 2 rows of parsnips and 1 row of radishes.  They are all mini rows around 3 feet long but once (if) these seeds germinate, it'll be time to sow more beetroot elsewhere and possibly more parsnips.

I'm ready with fleece in case the night-time temperatures drop too much - something distinctly possible judging by current forecasts.

Next to reach the plot will be pre-planted red onion sets and some brassica plants with everything having had a head start.
