SFG Bed 2 - Planting Seedlings

Afternoon on the allotment, transplanting Vailan Winter Gem lettuce seedlings and Senshyu Yellow Globe Japanese Onions grown from seed into Square Foot Garden Bed 2 next to the potting shed.

Foxes Larry & Mo came and tried to jump on the bed just after I had planted up and before scattering the crushed egg shells, and before I got the debris netting back on, and I had to chase them off. Four times they came back to see what I was doing, they have no fear of humans at all.

There are three rows of Japanese Onions in the right of this bed but they are not visible because of the green debris netting. The white stuff is crushed egg shells to put off the slugs and snails. With the water turned off mid last week, watering was via a watering can and water from the water butts on the greenhouse from plot 1

The Vailan Winter Gem lettuces transplanted on the 10th October are doing well only one nobbled by critters so far. I have some more egg shells at home and need to bring them to the allotment and sprinkle around the lettuces.  

Another Orange & Red tomato harvest, quite a lot of the tomatoes are splitting now, but still a lot of green tomatoes to ripen up yet, hopefully we dont get the -2 forecast for around the 27th of the month and I will get another couple of plastic baskets full to distribute to family and friends.
