The beginning of the year on our allotment. Today we took the garlic and broad beans to plant out. The garlic, after some escapee issues when the roots made a dash for it and tried to push the cloves out of the soil, are doing really well. I would definitely recommend the seed tray method, and will be using it in future.
The plan is to intercrop the allium patch (i.e. garlic, onions and leeks) with carrots and beets - to make use of the differing ripening times and dislike of their respective pests for each other.
I hate seeing so much bare soil as it's just not natural. Expect to see a very different picture later in the season!
