Week 52+7 - Bed PC2

The onions have grown through the winter frost, wind and rain. A lot of the plants have produced a their third or fourth leaf and are up to 15cm high. The soil on this bed was not as affected by the heavy rain as some of the others, this might be due to the more extensive cultivation, the rounded shape and/or the incorporation of manure. But the surface should be cultivated - carefully to avoid the roots - to increase the penetration of water and to get rid of the weeds and grass that are starting to form.
