Notice how the soil is already drying out? We definitely need to get some more organic material in there this autumn. We filled each side of the planter with 2*56 litres of general purpose compost mixed with some topsoil from part of the plot where the soil is in good condition (where the fork is in the right of the pic). In the right-most planter I sowed three rows of seeds:
Carrot Autumn King 2
Carrot Early Nantes 5
Beetroot Boltardy
In other news, the onion sets have sprouted roots and green shoots. I have moved these outside to harden off. The first batch of leek seeds are continuing to germinate ... I probably have about 80-100 plants now! I should have held off with the second sowing as we are now in danger of being overrun with them!
