Week 35 - Bed 11

The fennel has started to bolt, producing an elongated stem to support the flowers, instead of swelling into a bulb at the base. Not sure if this is do to the poor conditions of the soil or the bad weather, likely both. We pulled out all of the fennel plants to make room for another sowing.

A reasonable onion harvest, but not enough to bother drying for storage. In order to produce well, onions need a lot of fertility. This bed is now cleared of everything except the parsley, and we will sow some more seeds next week.
