Planting rhubarb and onion sets on the plot today - March 2022

[@Carol-oc7mx]

Hi the plot is looking good. You mentioned covering the rubarb to force it Noooooo its way to voung yet, forcing takes a lot of energy out of the crown and should only be done on mature crowns every three years, so give it time to bulk up the crown first. You could use the collar around your carrots to keep the carrot root fly at bay Keep safe👍

Oh thanks for the tip re the rhubarb, I really appreciate it - I'll leave it as it is. And, good idea re carrots. Thank you!

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦, we buy organic potatoes to eat but like other people I’m sure 😂😂 they tend to self chit under the kitchen cupboard so I plant them voila potatoes. I have lots in the poly tunnel that need putting out but it’s pouring rain here lately so I’m waiting a. It. I have one of those fork rakes I love it and paid practically nothing for it on FB. Sunshine looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see better weather here. Thank you for sharing 🐝 safe and keep growing your absolutely doing a great job

Thanks for your comment. I am going to pop them in a potato growing bag and hopefully I'll get a good crop. I hope your weather improves soon so you can get the plants in your poly tunnel out. We are forecast for good weather all week here, then more than likely back to rain! :) x

Your plot is looking well. Won't be long before it is bursting with veg I bet. 14 years! Wow that is a long long time to wait for an allotment. Take care. Mags

Can’t wait to plant it out full. I know, 14 years is very long. Worth the wait now that I’ve got it though xx

Thank you so much, you are very kind. I’m hoping to get good crops but I’m sure I’ll make rookie mistakes along the way 🤣🤣.
