# Gardening diary

Preparation for the growing season started today. I did a little
weeding, planted 40 globe onions, 8 ailsa craig tomatoes and 4
gardeners delight tomatoes.  Tomorrow I'll plant some leeks.

There are still a few carrots, parsnips and beetroot in the ground
from last year. In the raised bed there is still rocket, some lollo
rosso lettuce seedlings and a few spring onions. The spring onions
are usually from bundles we get from the supermarket which I regrow
the roots[1] and then plant outside to grow on.

At this time of year all the trays and pots will be kept indoors as
there is still plenty of opportunity for freezing temperatures.
