An hour or two on Dave’s allotment

I helped Dave for a couple of hours this afternoon. We dug a couple of trenches, and sowed potatoes, then turned over the soil in a patch and planted 200 onions. We fashioned a net to protect the onions from hungry birds, and came up with a rudimentary scarecrow using a crowbar and a carrier bag. It looks bleak now, but – weather permitting – it should bear rewards, other than rhubarb, by the end of the summer.
