Having planted 12 rows of each (12 to a row), we shouldn't be short of onions, and 30 garlic cloves went in too. That reminds me - I need to get more 'Radox' next time we go shopping!

Planning ahead
Busy day on the allotment today, planting onions ('Senshyu' and 'Electric') and garlic ('Germidour'). These are all varieties I haven't tried before, so we'll see what sort of a crop we get next June. If we get another warm, dry spring, these might do better than the usual spring-planted varieties.

It was a brilliantly bright autumn day and the soil should be warm enough to get the onion sets and garlic cloves off to a good start. So that's the first of next season's crops planted.
