Hi
Braved the torrential rain and gusts of wind to visit the allotment
this afternoon. The top half had puddles of water (the rest is on a
slope ) AND my recently planted onions, which have grown quite a bit
were waving at me from the puddles
Now as a new allotmenteer - I'm a tad worried - do they stand a chance
of rotting or will they be OK?
Battenning down the Hatches in Cumbria...

All I'm going to say to that, is that one wet year in Jersey, farmers I knew
who had côtils - steep but cultivable slopes - planted their seed potatoes
three times...... To be honest, there's not a lot you can do either way,
is there?
Ahh - i should worry - my friend lost her greenhouse and I'm twining
about onions?
I'm going to have a look at plastic greenhouses now instead of glass
ones for our Christmas present to each other.....
Many thanks
LW
