The Plot Thickens

It’s game-on after that nice bit of rain and the weeds are off to a good start. This is the over-wintering onions, and they’re not doing very well. I put them in rather late - middle of November I think, and that’s six weeks of root growth they didn’t make to get them through the winter. I lost most of them, but what’s left is worth saving because they should make good onions.

Troublesome weeds in this bed are the purple dead nettle which sets seed again very quickly, and a mat of tiny things that I think are tansy [Edit: actually it’s probably feverfew] {Edit: no, mugwort]. One year’s seed is seven years weed is so true.
