Vampire repellent time

Given the horrible weather over the past couple of weekends, and the fact I now have to work for a living during the week, this was the first chance I've had to get the garlic and onions in the ground. A couple of bags of manure from the garden centre (expensive but convenient) got dug in to most of the beds and then the garlic (elephant and Monte Christo) and onions (red) went in.

The leeks still aren't ready (again) so the next lot I plant will have a load of manure in the bottom of the trench in case they aren't getting fed enough.

Spinach as ever is still running wild so got a number 1 all over to keep it in check ;-)

Back in front of the fire now as it's not getting above freezing out there for the foreseeable future :(
