Episode 3 - Planting Onions

Welcome back to the Sunflower Allotment Podcast! 

This week Peter visits Tim's plot and shows him how to plant his onions and shallots. We also discuss the preparation of onions (including topping) and how to best prepare your onion bed.

Peter also explains the importance of chasing down weeds (especially the dreaded couch grass) and we share in the enthusiasm of Peter planting his firs early potatoes...in mid-March!
