Wretched chicken got out yesterday and wreaked havoc amongst my seedlings. Not. Happy. Jan.
Well, at least it wasn't all four of them. sigh.
Bed 3 is my alliums bed; 2sqm onions, 1sqm spring onions, few random shallots, 1sqm garlic and 1sqm leeks.

| Lovely garlic just coming up; yes raised beds are falling to bits |
I got the garlic I planted here from the organic produce stall at Hornsby farmers market. Not sure what sort it is, but I wasn't too fussed. Given last years
garlic disaster I didn't want to spend a heap on garlic from Diggers or somewhere.
Some red spring onions are in there somewhere - also some basil, eggplant and capsicum from this being the tomato bed last year. They'll come out in the next few weeks.

| 1sqm spring onions + other stuff |
Here is my poor poor onion patch - big hole in the middle courtesy of damn chook. Have a few onion seedlings hanging about, so shall replant, sigh.

So really the alliums bed is pretty much done - just watering and TLC from now own (and laser heat seeking missile chook defence system). I've got to put in a square meter of leek seeds, which are going in a bit late for around here, but leeks usually do okay regardless.
