As I was heading out to make sure the pigs were bedded down and lock the chickens up for the night, I saw the sunset was starting to look exceptional so I picked up the camera on my way. It was the right decision as this is what greeted me when I reached the pig huts.
We had a glorious spring day today, sunny but cool, so what better to do than start ploughing the first furrows for the potatoes. Of course, us being us, we only started the fun stuff after doing other jobs, like planting another 875 onion sets (825 sturon, 50 jetset). We’ve now planted 200 shallot sets, 1,150 onion sets, and a couple of dozen rows of seed onions (mainly spring onions and gourmet varieties, all in the vegetable patch). The shallots and onions in the field are in the first six, flat-topped, ridges.
