Just got a delivery drom Dobies

So on the sowing menu tonight we had:

White Lisbon Winter Hardy Spring Onions (I know it's early but hey ho)
Pak Choi Tatsoi Supi (says they don't like being transplanted - we'll soon find out)
Turnip Arcoat
Turnip Aramis

Also got my Broad Bean Aquadulce Claudia ready for overwintering and some Mustard that I'm going to throw about with gay abandon and see what this green manuring lark is all about.

All the above are intended for the lottie, but want to get the raised beds made first so will raise them in the mini-greenhouse on the plot first.

Gave the aubergines a trim and brush up tonight. Found a few greenfly so gave them a bit of a spray. The Black Beauty are setting much better than the Calliope (which aren't - not even one). Definitely going to cut down on these as well next year. Far too much like hard work for very little reward.

Was going to pin down a couple of strawberry runners but forgot. Will try and do that tomorrow.
