Moon phase: Week 3 (waning)
Thanks to a wet June and some serious neglect, the young plants that I was raising for the allotment have mostly died, much as they did last year. However there's an easy solution if you're prepared to spend a bit of money - plug plants!
I've found a supplier on ebay who is substantially cheaper than the big-name seed merchants, so I'm going to give him a try. He's got leeks and a range of brassicas, which should fill the main gaps in my winter plan - if his plants are good, I'll post a link.
