Harvested all the onions on the plot

Today, it seemed a good idea to remove the onions from the plot and to put them in the shed to finishing the drying out process. The onions range in size from not much bigger than a shallot to one that I am tempted to photograph as I am impressed by it.

Weeds are putting up a good show of growing at an astounding rate. Lots to do, sorting the compost and tidying up the weedy areas that the weather has unfortunately let get the upper hand at the moment.

I have to thank my wonderful husband for all the time and effort he put into helping me get the allotment 'in order'. As on my own it had been impossible to lay paths and clear some of the deep rooted brambles that we had on the plot.

Eventually with his help, we got to the stage where it had paths and looked like a real allotment. Together we created a place that was a timeless place, an escape from the modern world.

Thank you, for all your time and hard work and also for sharing my enthusiasm for digging up the first new potatoes of the year.
