Planted the butternut squashes into the skip bag. Four in one bag. The soil is very heavy, with rotting straw/menu so we'll see if they can manage that.
Picked about half the over-winter onions and laid them under a plastic cloche to dry out (I think this is what you are supposed to do). Not sure what to do with garlic - very affected with rust and some are still quite small. Tried half lifting them (maybe it gives them a shock to swell the bulbs) and also uncovering the bulb (think they may be planted too deep).
Potted up the tomatoes - they dont look really healthy but maybe they will pick up. The climbing franch beans and starting to take off, whilst the dwarf beans look rather unhealthy.
So, nearly everything is planted. Only 3 cougrettes to go - I think theyt could go into space when the onions and garlic are cleared.
