We’re starting to get growing in the back garden.  In late March the apple and plum cordons were still sticks, but the potatoes in bags and the emerging onions hinted at things to come.

By late May, the onions were well on and most of the spuds had been distributed to friends and neighbours allowing us to plant out young sweetcorn plants.

We struggle to grow these two crops on the allotment because of the presence of onion white rot and badgers respectively, so always wanted to have the capacity to grow them at home to supplement the things we can grow more successfully on the allotment.
