Fungi is sprouting everywhere...the old rotting wood wet from rain has sprouted!Weather Highlights:

All I've got to say about the weather is that it is cold and wet but it is winter now so we have to expect cold weather...

I have removed the Dwarf Peas from the back of Bed 3 as they seem to have grown too fast and set pods when small...must have been the warmer weather in Autumn. I managed to fit 2 rows of White Onions seedlings in their place.
In Bed 8 I have put a double row of White Onions around the edge of the tank and planted some excess Red Cabbages in the middle...with cabbages in the bed I needed to cover it with more netting.
Seedlings of Coreopsis, Coriander and Calendula as well as a small Hyssop have been planted around the birdbath in the new Herb Bed next to the fridge beds!
