Planting The Winter Onions At Last!

An old washing machine drum I repurposed and filled with well rotted fym and soil and planted my newly bought Japanese winter onion sets.  I normally plant them in September but I am a bit late this year.

 One of my repurposed plastic heating oil tanks newly weeded and planted up with onions.

My veg plot looks very neglected and overgrown at the moment. My late dad once said it only takes 3 months for a veg plot to become overgrown.  My three months of grieving are proof to that.  Hopefully we'll get some dry weeks over winter and my plot will look loved and the pigs will get plenty of buckets of grass and weeds to devour along with their ration

 I thought I had lost my mojo to grow anything again.  J was the seed sower and carrot weeder and cook and I was Boxer the cart horse to barrow the muck and weed and dig and harvest.

I dunno if I will grow so much again and I will not be going carbooting again with my shrubs and perennials.  

I have been thinking of starting selling plants from home but I might just plant up the plot and make a veg and flower garden in remembrance of Jean? She would have liked that.  

Have you planted any vegetables this Autumn/Winter?
