Such a pleasure to have a day without rain!

I was on a mission today, starting with planting out all my onion seedlings. I reckon there are in the region of 700 plants, a mix of red and brown onions. That took a fair while 🙂

Once they were done I build the supports for the peas (for pods) and planted those down the middle of a bed, with some clumps of radishes in the space alongside. Some of the peas were really far larger than they ideally should have been, but given the weather we’ve had, what can you do? I’m a bit concerned that pheasant or other pests might try to eat the seedlings, so I’ve made a wall of mesh cloches around them which I’ll leave in place until they’re established.

The rest of the day was construction, making up the supports for sugar snap peas and sweet peas. They’re ready to go out as well, so that’s tomorrow’s job. Hopefully I can get through a few others that need doing, too.
